Fast! version 1.0 September 22, 1989
Future Computer Systems, INC
By Myke Keefe
FASTE.EXE (Expanded memory verison)
Fast! is normally loaded in the config.sys file, but can also be invoked
from a DOS prompt. I have experienced problems with lockups when
using a mouse and the Desqview alarm clock program. It locks up
tight within 30 seconds on my AST with 2mb provided by remm.sys.
Uses around 24K conventional memory.
Using REMM.SYS 4.27 did not like the FASTE.EXE /u parameter that
disables DMA access to the page frame. Immediate crash. (Funny,
their manual suggests to use this parameter if you are
experiencing lock ups.)
Putting it to end of config.sys and it seems to work better.
FASTX.EXE (Extended Memory Version)
Can be loaded in CONFIG.SYS or from the DOS prompt. Min size
128K in extended.
It doesn't seem to use any conventional memory or a very small
amount in this version.
Have tried it with all features except the background update and
have experienced no lock ups.
FASTC.EXE (Conventional Memory version)
Also seems to run with out any conflicts. Default is to use all
but 256K of conventional.
