- 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.
