Here is a list of the items discussed below:

       Hurricane Control Center Changes
       The Hurricane RAM Drive
       The Hurricane Print Cache
       The Mode Switch Accelerator
       Read the Discover Help file
       Screen Accelerator
       METZ Freemem Utility

Hurricane Control Center:

Each tab in the Control Center now has a green "LED" 
indicator which is "lit" (light green) when the 
corresponding utility is currently running in memory.

The Mode Switch Accelerator tab contains a "breakpoints" 
count. This count indicates how many breakpoints (at most) 
were allocated by windows VxDs.  With the Mode Switch 
Accelerator installed there is no limit to the number of 
breakpoints allowed, without it there is a maximum of 768.

The Hurricane RAM Drive:

The Hurricane RAM Drive will not operate when using a 
temporary swap file.  Use the Windows Control Panel to 
switch to a permanent Windows swap file.

The Hurricane Print Cache:

Print Cache now has a background priority setting which 
determines how quickly data from the print cache will be 
sent to the printer.  A higher setting will result in 
quicker printing of your documents, but slower operation of 
your foreground task.

The Mode Switch Accelerator:

This defaults to having the Virtual Mode Extensions and 
Protected Virtual Interrupts off, as these conflict with 
some sound cards and some revisions of some BIOSs.  Please 
try enabling these options to see if your system works with 
them on.

Discover:

The discover help file contains more detailed information 
than the Hurricane manual.  Please Click Help in any screen 
to see more information about that screen.

Screen Accelerator:

The Hurricane installation procedure will not enable the 
screen accelerator in some low-memory situations, because 
the added performance will be lower than the performance 
lost due to the memory used by the Screen Accelerator.  To 
over-ride this setting, install the Screen Accelerator 
manually using the Hurricane Control Center.

Freemem:

The METZ Freemem shareware utility that monitors memory and 
resource use cannot be used with Hurricane loaded.
