Hi all. Just finished compiling ImageMagick for DJGPP with no
modifications made (only the commandline tools, but I actually use
them more than the GUI :)). If anyone wants them, they can e-mail me,
or they should soon be found on Johnson Lam's lite.

I believe that this is a new problem in new generation machines that are

But historicaly, this new things use the old hook for compatibility so I
wouldn't relly on it any more. Even if it was safe before (and me wrong)

Hm. SpeedStep actually modifies the clock, so that is plausible.
But how about throttling? For that, the mainboard puts the CPU i
djgpp may not be good for the kernal programming but I can't think of a better platform for applications programming. I know that there are those who are more into Freedos as an antique excersize in programming. However, Many comercial utilities use some form of dos as a spingboard for bootable CD
I clearly remembered it: "RDTSC varies it’s counter as the system speed
changes when Intel SpeedStep"

It would be great!
And anyway - I would like to know how to discrimine your EMM386 and its
