- DVPTAME Released to the Public Domain, 1991.
-
- DVPTAME lets DESQview suspend programs before their time slice is up if
- they are frequently polling the keyboard to check for a keystroke. You
- specify how many times the program is allowed to check for a keystroke in
- one clock tick (1/18 of a second), and DESQview does the rest. No extra
- programs to load, no shared programs, etc.
-
- Usage 1: DVPTAME = <dvp-file>
- Report the current polling limit
-
- Usage 2: DVPTAME <n> <dvp-file>
- Set the polling limit to <n> keyboard polls per clock tick
-
- In both cases, <dvp-file> is the FULL filename of the .DVP for the program
- you wish to tame.
-
- In many cases, DVPTAME will perform just as well as the shareware TAME.
- However, TAME can suspend programs which don't poll the keyboard often
- but make their idleness known in other ways, and can tame programs which
- poll the keyboard frequently even while they are still doing useful work.
