WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL [192.88.110.20] Directory PD1: Filename Type Length Date Description ============================================== TAME261.ZIP B 75649 910407 Speed up pgm execution in DesqView/VM386/other Excerpt from the docs: Tame works by monitoring what a program does. When the program is not doing anything except polling the keyboard, Tame notices. After enough polls, Tame can see that the program is wasting time and tells the multi-tasker to move on to the next task. Eventually, the multi-tasker will come back to this task. At this point, Tame will be less patient than before, and switch tasks as soon as the program starts polling again. When the program does something active, like processing keyboard input, performing disk I/O or changing the video screen, Tame takes note that it is active, and boosts its priority for about a tenth of a second. This will prevent Tame from causing a task switch during that period of time.
