- I had a go at running the DOS raytracing program "Vivid" in a vdm.
-
- Pulse showed the system going flat-out, but nothing seemed to slow down at
- all. My Zmodem download at 9600 carried on merrily and I was playing Wolf3D at
- the same time.
-
- After about half an hour (I'm downloading the GNU C++ compiler.......), I
- flicked into my DOS vdm and there was the image! All raytraced and beautiful -
- though crude - I wanted it done this week.....:-)
-
- It didn't slow OS/2 down at all! I was really amazed.
