- To those who responded to my inquiry about speeding up MS Works running under
- windows, thanks for the replies. The solution I have found (aside from the
- logical one of purchasing a Works for Windows license) is to use the /r
- startup parameter for Windows.
-
- In the Windows manual it is indicated that windows can be fired up three
- different ways. The /r parameter starts Windows for non-windows applications,
- another parameter starts windows for standard windows applications, and the
- straight win command w/o a parameter starts Windows for windows applications
- which are memory hogs (Lotus, PageMaker, etc). By using win /r, I am able to
- run Works under Windows with no problem.
-
- The only problem is that I also use PageMaker, so if I want to use both
- during the same session, then I have to bail out of windows and reload.
- It is an imperfect solution, but acceptable until Works for Windows arrives.
