Well we both use DOS for some WORK. In my case it is real-time
data processing. DOS is not optimized for that but as it is
single-tasking, as long as you do not wait for the kernel, you
have 100% CPU. So you can place kernel cal

I was suprised by how many people seemed sympathetic,
even private emails, so I shan't give up html help
completely.
I'll certainly hand over the maintaining of the
help.exe browser and source. As Bernd suggests, we'll
split this from the html files.
Now I still think someone else might be better

Hi there,
I have been reading the HIMEM sources, and have these questions. I am
grateful to whoever can say something about these questions (which as
usual are plain questions with no critisizing):
