Optimising GP2

Optimising GP2 sessions anyone? What sort of memory does it use/need (DPMI, EMS or XMS) - 32 Mb available but how to distribute? How many XMS handles if it uses XMS? How many file handles does it need/want? How many file control blocks does it need/want? Obviously give it a setup with 640k base memory, but is there any advantage or penalty to putting DOS high? UMB access needed.....or an advantage? Any techies - Microprose linked or otherwise - can help with this? (in case you wondered, it runs a treat from my OS/2 desktop with no apparent performance difference from native DOS [unlike Win95 apparently form comments made here] but I'd like to get it's session set up for the best) Cheers! --- * RM 1.3 U0414 * News Flash : Duracell bunny arrested, charged with battery.

I found a 5% improvement in performance by not loading emm386. It is also very important to tune your bios correctly, eg, get ctcm.
