Keywords: flickerfree Gibson Research software PC Message-ID: <638@drexel.UUCP> Date: 13 Jul 88 17:13:07 GMT Organization: Drexel University, Phila., Pa. Lines: 21 Has anyone in netland every worked with a piece of software called FlickerFree? I've seen in advertised a couple of times InfoWorld. It's published by Gibson Reserach (ala Steve Gibson), and advertises itself as a 7k byte assembly language driver that completely replaces the BIOS screen display calls to make screen updates much quicker. It looked to be a decent product, at a reasonable price ($39), and by a reputable firm, and since my company was paying for it, I decided to order it. When I called them up, though, I was told that it was no longer being sold. When I asked the salesperson why, she said, "Oh, Steve's a perfectionist, and he wanted to concentrate his time on ______ (the name of his disk reformatting software)." I can appreciate perfection, but just because you want to be perfect doesn't mean you have to pull everything but your current product off the market. I'd like to know if anyone was successfully able to purchase a copy, and if so, how well does it work. Are there similar products available from other companies?
