Ray, download amnhalt from my website www.nbarnes.easynet.co.uk/Binaries/amnhltm.zip - it's fit and forget, no user interface. It won't keep it cool when you're running 100% on the processor, but then, neither will any of the others. But the memory footprint is only about 5k...and on the lib, you need all you can get. > >*sigh* perhaps clocking it to 100MHz might not have been that good an idea >given the climate here ... hehe In Rio, I've had to have the machine on an icepack just to keep the modem cool enough to work, let alone thermal shutdown...
