System.Ini Contains Windows settings fr the modem Win.Ini Extra Windows settings Overview : Running a BBS under windows is extremely diffucult, especially using a 386sx. The BBS is run as a DOS window inside windows. It must have the bulk of the CPU time and it must not go too long without getting CPU. It therefore has background and Foreground priority set to 10,000/10,000. The minimum CPU cycles for applications is set to 10ms. This stops other apps from executing too long away from the BBS. The BBS should eiether run in full screen mode, or as a minimsed icon. The configuration I have seems to work OK most of the time but there are a lot of problems here and there. If you have anything to add or suggest, please contact me. Robert Butterworth Sysop, Flashpoint!
