There is nothing wrong with Exec. The problem is mulitittasking with intuition. Lets face it intuition is a load of rubbish. I can't stand useing any proggrams that make extensive use of it. I reffuse to use DMCS because of this. In DMCS it is that it takes too long to go about refreshing all the distturbed windows. It window handeling is far from perfect. Even if you don't use windows it is still not ideal. Did you know that if you leave the screen in front pulled down, ( And I don't just meen pulling a window down. ) the whole maching slows down to a snails pace. You may not notice tthis if you are not useing much of the cycles before hand. Finally it is too dificult to manipulate the display if you are restricted to useing intuition screens. - CirsP.
