Dear Sir/Madam

I am using Clipper-Dos based application on Windows 2000 server.
Performance is very poor, while working in Microsoft Excel/Word etc.
when Clipper-Dos based application is on. I am not able to work
simultaneously in both the applications. Also it is observed that, 100%
memory utilization in task manager.

The following changes are already carried out in Autoexec.nt &
Config.nt .

autoexec.nt
set clipper=F150

config.nt
dos=high,umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=200
shell=%SystemRoot%\system32\command.com /e:4096

My working environment
Windows 2000 server along with Windows 2000 prof. & Windows XP.

Can you please provide me the solution at the earliest? Thank you.

If you have the source code and can recompile and relink the application,
you can use the freeware library found here
http://www.davep.org/clipper/OSLib/ to add CPU timeslice release
functionality into the application itself.

Otherwise you can try out the product from www.tamedos.com

Clipper polls the keyboard constantly, which blasts the CPU usage through
the roof. These two products prevent that from happening.
