The shell has no problem. CPU usage is normal (4%) if FDAPM is running, which is the default in FreeDOS. I often work with a nc clone, so finding out about the option in doszip was very helpful. I also replaced FreeDOS Edit with Pedit [1] which is freeware (but unfortunately not open source). > Perhaps you can manually configure your Mac OS X to "power saver" > (decrease or disable one of the cores) at those times? If I leave FreeDOS running in VirtualBox with a not FDAPM aware program like FreeDOS Edit, after 30 minutes OS X will pop up a nice half transparent window. It tells me that my computer needs now to be shut down and that I should push the power button long enough to do so. There is no other option. It's the Mac version of the BSOD. > There really is no perfect answer as modern hardware is just too > powerful to run without a fan. If the problem meant that just a fan is running, it would be cool with me. But I doubt that a CPU running _constantly_ at 100, even at 40% is such a good idea. I mean even when I open a large picture with Photoshop, CPU usage goes up to 40 only for a second and then stays at 6 or 7 percent. I will do some more tests if the problem occurs on my old laptop with Windows XP and with Ubuntu as well. regards Ulrich [1] http://www.goldshell.com/pedit/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
