Hi Folks, For starters I have run "speedcheck" as supplied with 1.7r3 from the Arachne directory on the harddisk with the normal configuration for this internet machine: Apricot LS Pro 486DX-4 100Mhz 36Mb of total RAM and W95 (:-() with a 5Mb ramdisk in extended memory. Total time = 21 seconds Copying "speedcheck" into the ramdrive and running it gives an identical time. I therefore don't seem to be able to get this DX4 out of 2nd gear ! When I can get a more suitable machine running I will run the test's properly. Bie for now, Laurie -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
