- SPEEDY3 is designed to increase the display speed of MSDOS 2.x (and higher)
- programs running on the Victor 9000 and the IBM PC. Not all programs will
- increase in speed, only those that make use of MSDOS functions 2 (display
- character), 6 (direct console I/O) and 9 (display string) will benefit.
- SPEEDY3 requires no memory, it achieves the increased performance by
- re-coding a section of MSDOS. There are only two switches that can be used
- with this program:
-
- /H - switch to HIGH speed display,
- /L - return to normal MSDOS display speed.
-
- one of which MUST ALWAYS be used when invoking the program.
-
- Typically you can put the line - SPEEDY3 /H - in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and
- never worry about changing "speeds". The only time it is necessary to use
- SPEEDY /L is if you plan to use the MSDOS command CTTY. CTTY allows you to
- redirect your console I/O (keyboard and screen) to a serial port. Although
- SPEEDY will not interfer with the redirection, it will keep MSDOS from
- properly seeing ^S (pause), ^C (break) and ^P (printer echo) requests from
- the serial port. The standard MSDOS file redirections (<file and >file) are
- supported in the High speed as is file piping (file | file).
