I have a 386 with 4MB of RAM. I run Desqview386 and use PCKWIK's disk cache program. Recently I uploaded PCMAG's ansi.com (replacement for ansi.sys) to try out. However, when I ran it in a Desqview window, the strangest thing happened: my disk access went through the roof. I ran the benchmark program that came with PCKWIK, and disk access was a fast in the window (nearly) as it was without Desqview. I double checked and tried it on another system and the same thing happened. I am not complaining :-) but am at a loss to explain. My primary beef regarding Desqview was disk access within windows, and this (apparently unrelated) simple program corrects the problem. Two questions: 1) Why does this occur 2) Has anybody else noticed this? Thanks for your time and effort. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Racine racine@nexus.yorku.ca racine@yunexus.UUCP
