Due the specific need to run in plain DOS to use the yamd, I noticed
that a lot of programs run slower in this mode (Emacs seems to snail
like the ole 486 era!).

It seems to me that the main reason is the lack of a disk cache
(SMARTDRV?).

Now, does anybody knows how to setup the windows 98 environment so that
it runs the neeeded programs when booted in DOS and not in the `normal'
mode?

TIA,

Cesar
