[TenTec] Pegasus and DOS programs

[Roy Minuth]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the advice. The computer I am using for the Pegasus is a IBM
Thinkpad laptop that has a Pentium 120 processor with 16 megs of RAM..
Thinking back to the old DOS days, I now remember that DOS does not
multi-task all that great or not at all.. DOS loves to have all the
processor time for itself. 

Someone said that Log EQF would be a good logging program and I found out
on their Web page that its also a DOS program. I'll have to see if there is
any way to reduce the DOS programs processor usage. Thanks for your comments.
