Afaik, the best solution so far is to patch the clipper program with:
http://www.gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/clipper/clip2f.exe

Someone in this list recommended this a while ago and I haven't thank 
him enough.

There is a few other solutions that load a tsr program that catch some 
"known to be broken" idle calls, that didn't turn out very well for me.

(Sorri Maximiliano, this message was for the list)

The same thing happens to my application, only that I get around 50% cpu 
usage. Here I have access to the wait loop: I check Keyboard (bios 
call), mouse, timers, event-queue and start again. What should I do to 
stop using so much cpu?

I have noticed that, just as it happens with Clipper, this usage is only 
idle time and that it falls as soon as someone start using cpu...

I have $_hogthreshold = (1), Mandrake linux 10.0, Dosemu 1.2.1.0 and 
FreeDOS 2035 (tom).

50 linhas

When I issue:

mode co80,50

I do get 50 lines bit it says "Using VGA 400 lines resolution.". I would 
like to use 480 lines to get a more readable font. Where should I 
configure that?

Thanks,
Alain

I'm sending a copy to the dosemu list, so we can have more eyeballs on 
the issue.

Yes, I've seen that behavior in my machine. As I told you, it was fixed 
with the patch I posted.
(jeff you can find it in http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/clipper/)

I don't if this would help you, but in one of the programs I've another 
patch, which is a source level patch. This was supposed to recover the 
idle calls for the system, but it didn't do any difference.

So if you want to give it a try, I've just uploaded them in:
http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/clipper/nflib.zip
http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/clipper/nfpatch.zip

I hope you remember how to put the files in the correct place, because I 
don't. :)

You also have to add a line in the beginning of you program, something like:
FT_OnIdle({||FT_IAmIdle(30,.T.)})

Same here.

Debian sarge, dosemu 1.2.1 and freedos b8p.
