    Tame,  what is it? and can it help you?


    When running RA under a multi-tasking evironment such as DesqView
    you  may have noticed that RA really slows down the whole system,
    even though it seems to  be  doing  nothing  except waiting for a
    call or waiting for a caller type something.

    RA continually polls the keyboard waiting for you to press a key.
    In most circumstances, becuase the user is 'Remote' you never use
    the keyboard locally, unless chatting.   Therefore TAME can
    reduce the CPU overhead by upto 55%.

    The  Tame program  will significantly reduce  the CPU overhead of
    RA, without  greatly hindering  the performance.

    Tame is  designed to  work  with any  'DOS'  based  multi-tasking
    environment,  and it contains special hooks for use in  DESQview,
    Double  Dos,  Omniview, VM/386, and Windows.

    Tame is available,   from all DesqView Net Boards (DVN)  and most
    RA Support boards.
