Some days ago David asked for feedback regarding Dos32Lib and slow =
machines.
I've been testing it on my museum-brand 386SX-16, a real old =
five-megger, with an uprated 240 Mbyte disk.
Timing is really slow:
Just to get to the first clear screen it takes 5 seconds. 32 seconds of =
black screen end with the background painting, that takes 5 more =
seconds. The program (EX19) did appear 28 seconds later... Just 1' 8" =
to load what on a P200MMX is a snap.
On the other hand, DOS32Lib is really GREAT!!!.=20
I just miss the window handling aspects (close, etc) but I suppose are =
in the way...
