Cool Stuff on This Month's CD-ROM
(This month we review Clear & Simple's new product - Performance 2.1 - ed.)
Performance 2.1 is a unique product consisting of both a book and a set of utilities.
- Note
- The Developer Connection CD-ROM contains an online version of the book.
The generalized section of the book clearly describes performance issues, such as 32-bit preemptive multitasking, multithreading, and virtual memory operating systems. The detail section provides information about the meaning and allowable values for many of OS/2's CONFIG.SYS commands and parameters.
The REXX utilities will help you implement the suggestions in the book. These utilities are categorized into:
- Optimizers that assist your system's CONFIG.SYS parameters
- Tools that help you specifically tune individual parts of your system
- Eliminators that help you reclaim hard disk space occupied by currently unused OS/2 options. Eliminators provide you with a selective uninstall
- Performers that help you improve your individual performance, rather than system performance
Performance 2.1 also includes 3000+ public-domain icons in a zipped format to save you time and communication charges needed to download these icons from bulletin boards.
Performance 2.1 is for a wide range of users that will benefit from the sample configurations outlined for minimum, average, and power systems. This, the utilities, REXX source code, and the 3000+ icons make it a great value.
