That seems to imply that the DOS with W95 (DOS 7 ?) is as fast as 3.3. Or do you mean Arachne is slow on W95 DOS ? How fast does speedchk run on a ramdisk in W95 on that box ? Arachne's graphic processing is very slow and needs all the help it can get. Therefore, it is my opinion you should blow off the FAT32 and use DOS 3.3 or 3.31 on that box. > Could you please fix up a full version of DOS 3.3 > with all the goodies for speed?
