Marcos, A network drive letter similar to the Microsoft LAN client would be great, but that is a major undertaking - far larger in effort than the FTP server, which was the last major addition. That is not coming any time soon - it might as well be a separate project for the amount of work it requires. (That code also looks very different than all of the existing code; a TSR that mucks with the DOS drive letter chain and uses the undocumented network redirector interface. Some coding samples like vmsmount exist, but it is still not trivial.) Making mTCP more CPU power aware - I went down this path and there are #defines in the code for some of it. I chose not to implement it because there was confusion on how to do it across all of the platforms (older versions of PC DOS like 2.x, newer versions of DOS, DOSBox, and VMWare/VirtualBox) without having to do separate compiles or sophisticated run-time detection. That could still make it in the short term, but I need to do a lot of testing on a variety of machines. Mike -- For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.

You could always compile power management in the .EXEs but disable it, and let the user enable it piecemeal via config file if so desired. Then maybe?? report results back to you anonymously via e-mail with the results (opt in by default). Hey, it works for Google. ;-) -- For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
