| I'm an student at the University of Munich in Germany and I'd to program in Hugs.
| I think I found a little bug in you Windows NT Version.
| If I run the Winhugs-Programm it uses all the time 100% of my cpu capacity. Under
|Linux everything's fine.
| Please let me know what I can do to handle this problem - except not using the
|Windows Version :-)
I'm afraid that this is an inherent problem in the way that the Winhugs
program works: it spends a lot of time polling for events, which slows
down performance, and eats CPU. It also means that some programs that
use windows features (I'm thinking of Fran, in particular) won't run
under winhugs. With its browsers and class hierarchy viewer, winhugs
can still make a good choice for beginners, but it's probably not
suitable for `power users'. That said, on most reasonable machines, it's
still fairly usable, so long as you weren't trying to do a lot in the
background --- although there are noticeable delays just in bringing
up an editor using the :edit command.
There doesn't seem to be a quick fix for this, and while we are still
maintaining the winhugs program, it isn't being actively developed (as
far as I know).
All the best,
Mark
