Compatibility is great, all the programs (admittedly I don't run many Mac programs) I need run without crashes. Speed under DOS is definitely improved. To my eye, speed under Warp is as good or better than 1.99p9 also, but Speedometer says differently: On my ancient 386DX25 with 20 MB RAM, 13 ms access time HD, Hercules Dynamite ISA with 2 MB video DRAM... 1.99p6 DOS PR rating = 0.236 (Speedometer didn't run under Warp) 1.99p9 DOS = 0.311 1.99p9 Warp = 2.163 1.99q12 DOS = 1.197 1.99q12 Warp = 1.063 It's still fast (considering my system), and I can't really notice a slowdown when running apps, but Speedometer says it's slower than p9, comparing best conditions with best conditions. One improvement I've noticed under Warp is that the -info switch now is able to detect DPMI memory amounts. It was "Unable to determine DPMI free memory" under with p9 under Warp. By the way, the Browser keeps looking better and better. Fantastic work, folks! Anton
