Re: High Temperature with DOSEMU

Hi,

there is no easy fix. The problem basicaly is that Clipper does not call
dos to wait for user input, it keeps running in a loop. The result is
that even if HogThreshold is 1, all unused cpu goes back to dosemu.

There is (somewhere, I don't know) a small lib for clipper that changes
that behaviour. As you said that you wrote the program, you can re-link
it with that.

In the mean time, all you can do is buy a better cooler, that excess
heating may happen for other reasons too ;-)

Win98 had a workaround for that, but even XP doesn't. Neither does doesmu...
