It increases the perfomance for INI-write-actions. This reduces the blockade of WPS while INI-write. The file PMMERGE.DLL opens the INI files with the flag OPEN_FLAGS_WRITE_THROUGH which has the consequence that these files are written uncached to the HD, so that the WPS is blocked partially quite a long while. IBM made for exaggerated safety reasons, in my opinion that is not necessary. This Tool goes back on an idea from Peter Fitzsimmons. At this the module entry DOSCALLS will replaced in pmmerge.dll by NEWCALLS. The NEWCALLS.DLL contains so-called Forwarder on all functions in DOSCALLS except DOS32OPEN, this function its by own _DOS32OPEN replaced. If opening files, _DOS32OPEN removes the flag OPEN_FLAGS_WRITE_THROUGH and calls then DOS32OPEN in DOSCALLS. I wrote now a Installer and shortened the file NEWCALLS.DLL somewhat (no, there now nothing is missing;-)). Supplementary product like DLLRNAME are more necessary. In this version I have correct bugs in the installer again. On some, seemingly mainly on non-German systems, a SYS1808 occured while running install.exe. The program is Freeware.
