Um, an editing session for that particular .ini file might be in order. Start by adding another 0 to the BASE_THREAD period setting, too small a value there will freeze the machine if the machine isn't fast enough. Actually there are three PERIOD settings, add a zero to all 3. It may be slow, but shouldn't freeze then. OTOH, I've not had the 'guru' blessing from this 'inner circle' you speak of, I must have skipped class that day. 73 year old diabetic old farts tend to be selective about what we learn. :-) As for editors, there are several available. I'm partial to the vi/vim offerings myself. >>BTW, you would not belive the amount of time spend on the manuals. > >Yes I would, I've wrote manuals, it's a PITA :) That it is.
