ARRITT@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (What a waste it is to lose one's mind.) (01/16/90)
I finally managed to get a 386 pc, so that I could (hopefully) do
multi-tasking. Unfortunately I've been having a great deal of trouble
with setting up my programs to run under Windows. The manual is not
particularly well organized and contains numerous omissions and factual
errors; e.g. it will tell you to enter a "-1" for desired memory, but the
PIF editor doesn't like negative numbers.
My request: Can anyone recommend a good reference for using Windows-386?
All I want to do is to multi-task what Microsoft calls "standard applications".
I don't need information on "paint" programs or any of the other junk that
comes bundled with Windows. Also I don't intend to program for the Windows
environment specifically. I just want to be able to run some time-consuming
things in the background while I do other stuff.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks!
