Turbo IDE starts computer fan

[Sv. Broholm]

Problem: Using WinXP Proff and running Turbo IDE in a Dosbox. will
after a short time start the computer fan. Exiting back to Windows
will again stop the fan. It is annoying.

I have see a software solution (by hooking some vectors before
starting a new Shell or something like that ) to avoid this problem
and I assume it has been in this forum.

Can somebody point me in the right direction ?

Thanks in advance

You can play around with the number of cycles used of dosbox and the
frameskip parameter. Other than that there is nothig you can do about
that because Console Applications in Windows always get the full CPU
Time when selected, so turning on the fan is the natural reaction of
Windows based drivers since the CPU Load goes to 100% when running a
Console Application which polls permanently for mouse and keyboard
input. Have you considered using FreePascal instead? That will be more
compatible to Windows.
