I'm trying to use my program in Win95 DOS box and I have a problem -
the program takes forever to start.
I have a Pentium 200MMX with 128Mb of RAM, and my program is using
about 100Mb of RAM. When the program starts, it loads a few HUGE
arrays (which amount to 100Mb mentioned earlier). So at this moment
Win95 starts an outstanding hard drive activity with no end in sight.
In plain DOS everything works much faster (it takes about 30 seconds
to start).
So the question is : does anyone know how to set Win95 correctly to
prevent this.
Any ideas appreciated.

Victor.
