- 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.
