(I did...what a headache...)
Once you read through the files in expplus.zip, it should be clear
what to edit. I used the aol editor too, its not that bad.
Also, based on other info in the lists, I bumped my heap space
to "maxTotalHeapSpace=65000" insead of the recommended 45000. Can anybody
comment about the pluses or negatives of doing so? I haven't had any problems
and I usually keep 4-6 apps running concurrently.
Apps seem to respond slower, the more processes running on the desktop.
OS/2 processes have dynamic priorities. So you can tell an application
to take a minimum number of CPU cycles if it is in an idle (icon, etc) state.
(still chews up the same amount of memory)
Anything similar in GEOS?
