    Running FPD 2.6 on a modern PC

    Hi Cricket, My 2 PC's and 1 laptop all have 1G RAM. As I reported above, with TameDOS 5, FPDOS v.2 runs fine on all 3, doesn't prevent other apps or system from running. I did try FPDOS with 512MB RAM (without TameDOS)... it sapped memory. Perhaps I should have tried TameDOS then. Jack

    Running FPD 2.6 on a modern PC

    Hi Rob, RE : http://www.tamedos.com/ Many thanks. Installed TameDOS on 3 PC's under WinXP and so far so good. No memory/resource issues, systems run great. Just a note : a pre-release version of TameDOS "Tame Version 5.1" seemed to be a bit unstable, so I uninstalled and replaced with version...

    Hi again, Rob and Mike, Oops, I notice that I omitted this 2nd half of my hint. With FPD open in WINDOW mode (not full-screen) Right-click on its top banner Select Properties Select Font Select TT Lucida Console (instead of Raster Fonts) Select any point-size from 5-to-72 to suit user screen...

    Running FPD 2.6 on a modern PC

    Hi Rob, Thanks kilos ... a valuable hint. Not to detract in any way - honestly - but the Crtl-Esc action minimizes FPD in the tool tray, removing it from view. Having FPD still visible in a window is an advantage while accessing relevant data in other Windows apps. Cheers, Jack in North...

    Running FPD 2.6 on a modern PC

    Hi Mike, Just one additional note related to one of the FPD SETTINGS that rob444 outlined above: screen tab -> select full screen. A disadvantage of this is that you can't access any other apps. while in Full-Screen mode. My 17" desktop screen is set at the normal 1024x768. I prefer to use the...
