I work with Foxpro DOS and Foxpro 4 Windows and Fox DOS will out run the same application faster than Fox Win. Fox Win is designed to work as Win/DOS program and is inharitly single threeded, thou it dose support co-oparative multitasking. I can see that the NT OS would operate twice as fast with two CPU's, but I don't see how NT could split a single threeded DOS or Win/DOS app between two CPU's. Fox/Dos, Fox/Win and Imagine all are single threeded. Sill wonder how Fox/Win under Win NT compares to Fox/Win under Win/DOS. And how dose NT handle two Fox apps running side by side. I under stand the Multi-threeded programs can take advantage ot two CPU's, but the apps that we are talking about are not Multi-threeded. Bill Rockhold
