With the particular package I am running under Dosemu, when I look in top, even when just sitting at menu in the application dosemu is taking 98+% of cpu. Just at a dos prompt it takes 0.05%. Looking at debug output from it at a dos prompt: INT2F at 17e7:0de8: AX=1680, BX=00f7, CX=0a0b, DX=130c, DS=17e7, ES=17e7 INT21 (0) at 17e7:0dec: AX=0b00, BX=00f7, CX=0a0b, DX=130c, DS=17e7, ES=17e7 int 0x21, ax=0x0b00 int 0x28, ax=0x0100 int 0x28, ax=0x0b00 Where as in the application: DPMI: switching from real to protected mode DPMI: calling interrupthandler 0x16 at 0x022f:0x00008ffc DPMI: switching from protected to real mode DPMI: realmode hlt: 0xfc920 It looks to me like the application I am running never calls INT28 (keyboard idle interrupt) it just loops around in INT16. Is it possible for Dosemu to recognize the program is idle? Has anyone else hit this problem? Found any cunning workarounds? For your information the package I am running is called plot and was written in ADS (an old 4GL language) I would be most grateful for any help/ideas anyone can give me Colin _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
