Tutor With CMOSCLK.SYS Clock - Speed Changes |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is using IBM DOS 4.0 with the Corrective Service Diskette 5601-193, (release date 03/90) and a file called CMOSCLK.SYS that replaces the DOS clock. The consequence of this for the tutorial program is that automatic insert typing works at one character per second, rendering the tutor completely unacceptable. This makes the tutor very slow. Solutions: In the Tutor WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS executes a series of macros which use delays. Because it uses delays, it makes rapid calls to the DOS clock. The README file with the CMOSCLK states that "...accessing the CMOS clock is a slightly longer operation and applications which perform rapid clock queries may experience reduced performance." The CMOS clock only returns Hour:Minute:Second (no 100ths of seconds). So, the finest resolution is seconds, which means WP can only delay by whole seconds. |
