<QUOTE>
I'm running arev 3.1, and want to install the upgrade to 3.12. I've downloaded AR312UPD.ZIP but there's no instructions in it. I have 3 questions.



1. I want to install this because I heard it will allow me to set a "yield time to windows flag". Is that true?



2. How do you install it?



3. Can I expect any problems?

<QUOTE>Unzip the contents and copy contents of each disk folder to a floppy (or you can unzip each of the disk folder directly to a separate floppy).



Put disk1 in floppy drive.



Make sure all ARev users are out of ARev.



Login in to AREV as user INSTALL (ie.  AREV INSTALL /x /m4096)



Pick "Install/Upgrade" from menu. Feed floppies as requested.



After it's done, log out and back into INSTALL and run "Upgrade Application" from the menu. Do this for each application/account on your system. 



"Yield time to Windows" settings will be under Hardware - Workstation settings.

<QUOTE>If you receive an "invalid opcode 70" error, or similar, simply re-perform the installation a second time. This is the only potential glitch, and it has probably been fixed by now. Before upgrade, do three things - backup, backup and backup.



Apart from the "Yield time to Windows" feature, the release is far more stable, and the limitation on TCL command length has been lifted.

<QUOTE>OK, I've successfully installed 3.12, and I've set "yield time to windows" to Yes.  Thanks for your help everyone.



It had the immediate effect of dropping cpu usage from 100% to about 80%. This still seems a bit high for an application sitting there waiting for input.  Is this all the improvement I can expect?

<QUOTE>Regretfully without acquiring our CPUPLUS product, probably. Fine tuning may knock it down a bit more but to get down to the single figures you'll need CPUPLUS.

<QUOTE>What exactly is CPUPLUS, and how does it work?



Incidentally, although the upgrade went without any problems (like the invalid opcode 70 error you mentioned), I doubt the upgrade has been fixed.  All of the files in it are dated 1995.

<QUOTE>CPU Plus is a plug in program for AREV that replaces certain system routines with ones that yield time to Windows in a more effective manner thus drastically reducing CPU usage. Details may be found at http://www.sprezzatura.com under Products and Services. You may get a time-expiring evaluation copy.

<QUOTE>The files are dates March 12, 1995 since that was the date ARev 3.12 was released.
