Jim Besser:
It is hard to tell what to make of your problem with XY slowing
down when multitasking under Warp without knowing how much
memory you have, etc. I do the same thing with Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, and find no change in the speed of XYDOS while
running other DOS programs, TwinBridge Chinese input, and
WordPerfect 6.1, and dialing into the U. Library with Crosstalk
(all in Windows) at the same time. That's with 16MB and a 10MB
Windows swap file running with a 13ms hard disk.
