Re: High Temperature with DOSEMU

Hi,

there is no easy fix. The problem basicaly is that Clipper does not call dos to wait for user input, it keeps running in a loop. The result is that even if HogThreshold is 1, all unused cpu goes back to dosemu.

There is (somewhere, I don't know) a small lib for clipper that changes that behaviour. As you said that you wrote the program, you can re-link it with that.

In the mean time, all you can do is buy a better cooler, that excess heating may happen for other reasons too ;-)

Win98 had a workaround for that, but even XP doesn't. Neither does doesmu...

Hallo!

I´m using a very old DOS Programm in my office which I´ve written in
Nantucket-Clipper 20 years ago  . In former times it run well in a Dos
Window on OS/2. But now I get a new computer with Suse Linux 10.3. The
programm runs good in DOSEMU but "top" tells me it consume nearly 99.9%
CPU. And afte a short time the temperature alarm of my computer is ringing.
I tried to change HogThreshold but even with "1" I´ve a system load of
more than 98%. Same if i use "Speed" in Dosemu.

How can I fix this?
