He asked to add __dpmi_yield to the idle loop. I did it in my editor and seems to work. I noticed that the Win95 CPU use meassure program says that RHIDE uses 100% of the CPU. That isn't true, or better isn't important under Win95 because if other task needs the CPU Win95 takes CPU time. Seems that OS/2 doesn't have this ability. After adding the call to yield the editor just uses 2% when is in foreground and 1% when is in background (the editor have a clock and the editor was in a window so it needs some CPU). I'll try to: 1) Send a version of the new editor to Gili to test it under OS/2. The bad point is that I saw a letter from him (on friday) saying that your account won't be valid anymore. So perhaps I'll need other user of OS/2 to test it. 2) I'll release a new version of the editor in some days so anybody will be able to test if __dpmi_yield works fine for the editor.
