I've put WINDOWS 3.0 CGA 2 Colour for use on PC-TASK/PCX in the Zone and it's still seems slow as fuck - I was expecting a real speed boost - this is 2 colours!

Just run PC-TASK in LOWRES - DOS is buggered but Windows runs fine and there is a speed increase......... - maybe that didn't do anything - maybe it was the frame skip - does seem faster but not hugely

However if you have a Vampire or 060 maybe you can see a nice speed increase but don't hold your breath.

Must just be the way Windows is written.

Anyone remember how to get the *MOUSE* working in PC-TASK ???

Windows 3.1 apparently can be run in CGA by upgrading from 3.0.

If I get board again.
Whats left to try - SoftWindows under ShapeShifter - If someone has this already setup please! upload.
OS/2 - Will this be any faster.......
