- I've got a question about win-os2 full screen. On my computer at work, I've
- just got a VGA card, so I can run windoze apps through seemless windows.
- It appeared to me that once OS/2 loaded it's seemless session of win-os2,
- that when other windoze apps were started seemlessly, the win-os2 code was
- used again (2 seconds to load an additional app vs. loading dos and win-os2
- again, then loading the app).
-
- On my computer at home, I've got an ATI ultra and I configured win-os2 to
- a higher res, forcing me to run all windoze apps in full screen mode. My
- question is this: Is there any way to make OS/2 re-use its win-os2/fullscreen
- resources as described above in the seemless case? Every windoze app that I
- open runs dos, then win-os2/fullscreen, then the app. That seems like a waste
- of memory, disk thrashing and time.
