2011-06-15 Thread Marcos Favero Florence de Barros
If certain programs are loaded immediately after booting, the computer appears to be locked, but after moving the mouse everything is back to normal, and the machine will not lock again until the next boot. Two examples of such programs are: the WBAT menu by Horst Schäffer, and the DosZip file

[Freedos-user] Unloading TSRs

2011-06-10 Thread Marcos Favero Florence de Barros
Hi Eric, This is to unload DPAKBD (a replacement for Tame). I looked it up and it says it is something about idle CPU slices (Windows?) with Clipper apps. Did you try using fdapm apmdos for that? I already use fdapm apmdos all the time. In fact, I now avoid editors, viewers, browsers, etc.
