Hello Peter!

Replying to a message of Peter Hansen to Ed Becker:

 PH> The "documented" stuff is from the book "The Design
of OS/2" which is
 PH> the mainstay description of that kind of thing, written by Deitel and
 PH> Kogan (from memory) and as I don't have it handy I can't give the
 PH> ISBN for now but you should have no difficulty tracking it down.

Wrote it down in my notepad.  Thanks!




 PH> In most cases actually implementing a test to
 PH> measure results for your own situation would be the best bet. 

This is the way I always do it.  I'm notoriuous for writing 10 - 15 line
VERY sloppy coded executables that do nothing more than print a whole bunch
of "strange numbers" on the monitor.  :-)

 PH> Publishing the results here or elsewhere -- which it's unfortunate
 PH> but understandable more people haven't done (competitive advantage)
 PH> -- would be a very welcome contribution.  Actually, I dislike posting
 PH> these tidbits without having checked them out myself, but as nobody

This why I never post my own little tidbits of information... While I may
use the information from my own "tidbits" in a program that
_seems_ to be working, it is no guarantee that my theories are correct.
