- ok, i just want to get some termnologies straight....
-
- seamless windows is the ability to run windows programs in their
- own little window session right? say if i run word for windows,
- i'll see win-os2 load up and then there will be a window in win-os2
- where word is being run. now, if i jump back to the os2 desktop
- and double click (like i did on word) on wingif, then another win-os2
- session will be loaded into memory where i'll see wingif being loaded
- up in a window. now, seamless windows means that there will be two
- separate win-os2 sessions for two windows programs right? (like in my
- example...)
-
- if what i just described above is correct, then why is everyone complaining
- about seamless windows not available on 3rd party drivers? i'm using
- a tseng et400 based board w/ the driver, proii8.zip running everything at
- 1024X768X256 (os/2 and windows) and i can do the above just fine????
-
- is there something i'm not seeing here or ignorant of? or is my definition
- of seamless windows just plain wrong???
-
- btw: if what i describe is correct, why is the 2nd and 3rd windows programs
- so slow in loading up when I do it? (i remember a couple hundred posts
- back, someone said that the 2nd and 3rd loads should be faster because
- the essentials were already in memory.)
