Tame will speed up many programs when you are using a multi-tasking
environment. It has direct support for DESQview, Windows, Double Dos,
Omniview, Topview and VM/386.
Tame will also allow many programs which are DESQview-aware
to become aware of other supported multi-tasking systems.

If you are upgrading from version 2.5:
--------------------------------------
If you were experiencing choppy output or jumpy keys with the old
version of Tame, try this version. A new /Boost option should reduce
or remove that experience.
The new /BOOST switch defaults to being on, so if Tame is not as
effective as it was, try /BOOST:2,0 to disable activity boosting, or
/BOOST:0 to completely disable it.
If you are upgrading from version 2.4:
--------------------------------------
If you are running Windows and running a DESQview-aware program, you may
use the new /DVAWARE switch to remove some of the guesswork in tameing
the program.
If you are upgrading from version 2.3:
--------------------------------------
This version now supports Windows, so if you use Windows you may wish to
try Tame in that environment. Tame can be much more effective than the
idle detection that is built into Windows.
If you are upgrading from version 2.2:
--------------------------------------
This version has a few more options, and provides better timing statistics.
To run with the same parameters as the version 2.2 defaults, specify
/KeyIdle, but this is not recommended in DESQview 2.26 if the task will
spend a lot of time waiting at a DOS prompt.
If you are upgrading from version 2.1:
--------------------------------------
This version has many new options, making Tame even more effective at
reducing Multi-tasking overhead. To run with the same parameters as
the version 2.1 defaults, specify /Max:3,2 /KI:0
If you are upgrading from version 2.0:
--------------------------------------
You may need to use the new /INT15 option with some programs. Since
this has been found to lock up some machines, it is no longer the
default.
If you are upgrading from version 1.x:
--------------------------------------
1. Place the appropriate TAME-RES and TAME command in your DV window
startup .BAT file (or run the program with TAME-RUN.BAT)
2. Remove or modify special BAT files calling the previous TAME
3. Delete the TAME and TAMEPATH environment values if you used them
