- I agree--Telix works pretty fast.
-
- However, you should also consider replacing your DOS ANSI.SYS with
- something faster like NNANSI.SYS (available from Simtel, Wuarchive,
- etc). This will speed up your screen two-fold, possibly faster. (And
- if you use Telix, you should have it configured for direct screen
- writes (Alt-O,S,<Enter> regardless.)
