DosIdle for Clipper 1.4 DOS FREE
Introduction
The basic purpose of this module is release of virtual machine
time-slice in idle loop of the Clipper-program under Windows or
OS/2 control. Due to this, the program, being in a condition of idle
loop, does not occupy processor and allows maximum effectively to
work to other processes.
As it works
Established hook on some procedure, periodically called Clipper at check of the keyboard. Periodically, by a call of this procedure, function of release current virtual machine time-slice (INT 2F, AX = 1680) is called. As have shown experiments, frequencies of a call of this functions is quite sufficient to sleep the unactive program under OS/2 or Windows. At the same time productivity of an active task falls rather unsignificantly: no more, than on 1-2%.How to use
Include DOSIDLE.OBJ in the list of linked modules and in initialization part of your program add a call of function DosIdle(). Basically, the frequency of release time-slice is picked up by me experimentally, can appear, that the given function will work inefficiently by some machines (if it so, write to me about it). Therefore I offer to provide in the program any mechanism managing turn on or off of this module.Download
