For the 100% CPU-load problem caused by clipper programs and other dos programs, I use two small patches in dosemu 1.3.4: --- ./base/bios/int16.c.ORIG 2006-10-31 21:28:54.000000000 +0100 +++ ./base/bios/int16.c 2006-12-31 13:37:10.000000000 +0100 @@ -118,7 +118,11 @@ trigger_idle(); else reset_idle(0); - idle(500, 20, 0, INT2F_IDLE_USECS, "int16"); + /* 2006-12-13 + * dbase3+, word4.0, ....
