Hi,

there is no easy fix. The problem basicaly is that Clipper does not cal=
l=20
dos to wait for user input, it keeps running in a loop. The result is=20
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=
=20
that behaviour. As you said that you wrote the program, you can re-link=
=20
it with that.

In the mean time, all you can do is buy a better cooler, that excess=20
heating may happen for other reasons too ;-)

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