*Why* would anyone want to write such a beast? I was a TOPS-20 user for years, but now do almost everything exclusively on MS-DOS machines. While I found ^T to be very useful on the timesharing/multitasking DEC-20, I don't really know what useful information I'd get out of it on a single- user DOS system. I suppose it could tell me that 99.9999% of the time it's sitting in an idle loop, waiting for keyhits... or that the CPU is either 0% busy or 100% busy. YOU are the only real "system load". And if you can't figure out what you're doing, what good is ^T going to do for you? bill frolik hp-pcd!bill
