Since you appear to have things running <g>, a couple of questions:
1) what video card are you using? 2) rendering the same file, what is the
render time for the foreground and
background session? My background session is running extremely slowly
right now. 3) are you able to branch to DOS using f10 from the foreground
session while
running a background session, and then get back into 3ds w/o a swap file
error? 4) why doesn't IBM's 8514 video driver support background execution
(retorical [sp?] question)?
Thanx, lam

An S3 805 (built-in).

I'll have to do some comparisons. Since getting a new machine, I am doing
network rendering on another machine (but still run both machines under OS/2.

It doesn't? Emulating the video registers is too slow, so only cards with 2
video chipsets (like the 8514) perform well.
