FDFIXOS2 - FrontDoor Fix for OS/2 // Absolute Solutions
-------------------------------------------------------
Copyright 1996 Mats Wallin; All rights reserved.
Introduction
FrontDoor 2.12 / 2.20c tries to use as little CPU time as
possible when running in a multitasking environment, such as
OS/2. In most cases this is also the case, but there is one
situation where it doesn't work very well: Receiving files.
This TSR is an attempt to solve this problem, or atleast
improve it.
This TSR is not needed with later versions of FrontDoor, since
the problem is solved internally.
How to use it
This TSR program (FDFIXOS2.COM) should be loaded in the same
window in which FrontDoor is running. It should be loaded
after your FOSSIL driver, but before FrontDoor.
When loading it, just run FDFIXOS2 without any parameters. It
will automatically detect if it's already loaded, and in that
case, not do anything.
It is possible to unload the TSR if needed. Just run FDFIXOS2
and specify U as a parameter. This might be needed when
running a BBS, a door program, or something similiar, where
the "idle logic" that FDFIXOS2 uses doesn't work correctly for
that specific program.
How it works
FDFIXOS2 is monitoring different type of calls that FrontDoor
does to the FOSSIL, and when it believes that it would be safe
to give away the reminder of the current time slice, it does
this.
Example
This is a small example of how you could use this TSR in your
BAT file that runs FrontDoor.
