Loaded Clipper app slows down W9x file look ups in Excel, Word, etc..

[VV]

I'm running W9x on all my stations, Novell 3.12, and some rather large clipper 5.2e exe's.<br><br>The clipper apps run fine, the windows apps run fine, but when they are loaded together, the file open lookup routine in MS apps very noticeably slows down.<br><br>In my config.sys I've got:<br><br>device=c:\windows\himem.sys<br>device=c:\windows\emm386.exe<br>dos=high,umb<br>files=120<br>buffers=32,0<br><br>My clipper app icon is set to allocate memory from all areas &quot;auto&quot;matically, disable in background, and allow screen printing. Fast pasting is off.<br><br>The systems vary from Pent 166 to PIII 466.<br><br>Any help? or additional information requirements would be appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>- Vaughn<br><A HREF="mailto:cheech@roseam.com">cheech@roseam.com</A>

If you use CATOOLS function INKEYTRAP(), change it to INKEY()<br>

The function INKEY() in Clipper 5.0 hogs memory cycles. I'm<br>not sure if this holds also with 5.2 but it's worth a look. <br>If so, try some of the fixes/libs in Oasis net.
