Re: [Freedos-user] CPU Throttle?

[Emerson M. <eme...@gm...>]

*DOSIDLE* is the program most commonly used with virtual machines.
However, *MS-DOS
6.x* already includes a power management utility called *POWER*.
Nevertheless, *FDAPM*, which is included with *FreeDOS*, is generally the
preferred solution because it is more modern and also compatible with
*MS-DOS*.
