Hello all Windows '95 users,                                                            

This file may be freely distributed as long as it is not changed in away way,
shape or form.


	A couple words before I get started, I am writing this help file
        because of all the requests from the RA Support Echo. I am not
        the best writter in the world as you will notic very shortly but
        I will do my best!


#1 	I am running Win95 build .347 with RA 2.02 and FD 2.02 on a 486 DX/50
        with 8 megs ram. I am running one remote and one local node and it
        all runs GREAT!

#2      The first thing I did to enhance the performace of  RA in Win95 is in
        the .PIF for RA I set the 'Idle sensitivity' to LOW and took off
        'Always suspend'. I changed all the memory options to 'AUTO' so Win95
        takes care of it. The rest in the .PIF file doesn't have much to with
        performance.

#3	I use X00 2.02 and with Dos I had the X00.SYS loaded in the config.sys
        but that caused errors with Win95 ('Windows is trying to use the same
        com port as BBS') so I loaded X00.EXE in my BBS.BAT that loads FD.

Ex. 

C:\RA\X00.EXE E B,1,38400 F=15 T=4096 R=4096
CD C:\RA\FD

:Recycle
c:\ra\rotate -s=d:\draw\pics -d=c:\ra -r=welcome.ans -f=*.ans
C:
cd\RA\fd
fd.exe
	
	this is the first part of my BBS.BAT that runs FD. That seemed to be
        the big fix that allowed me to truly Multi-Task.

#4	I am also using a Win95 program to do all my maintenance in seperate
        windows (START.EXE) which you can see in my provided BBS.BAT file.
        I have also included all my .PIF files to do with RA and FD to help
        you out as well.

This is all I can think about for running RA and FD in Win95, I have no com
settings in my System.ini and no com ports are turned off or changed from
the orginal settings when I installed Win95. If anyone has some hints, ideas,
problems or even ways that can help me speed up my BBS with Win95 write to me
in the RA Support Echo, Win95 Echo, Netmail or Email.
