I just got in the latest update to VP/ix. It solves a lot of problems, including the delayed typing, and it now allows processes to continue running in the background on mono, cga, and herc. video cards. I haven't had a chance to evaluate the rest yet, but it looks real good. Also, it provides an optional upgrade to DOS 3.3 from 3.2, the screen switching is much faster and cleaner, and it now supports the extended 101/102 key keyboard.

It came direct from SCO, so if you aren't registered you probably won't get it. It is called Update A. JB -- Jonathan Bayer Intelligent Software Products, Inc.

I'm confused - DOS 3.2 corrects these problems or the VP/ix upgrade from SCO? -- Larry Snyder uucp:iuvax!ndcheg!ndmath!nstar!larry The Northern Star Usenet Distribution Site, Notre Dame, IN USA

DOS 3.3 is part of the upgrade. VP/ix corrected the problems. BTW, I have heard from a few people that the upgrade does not work for terminals. Anybody want to comment on this (similar problems, SCO replying, etc. ) JB -- Jonathan Bayer Intelligent Software Products, Inc. (201) 245-5922 500 Oakwood Ave. jbayer@ispi.COM Roselle Park, NJ 07204
