Isnt it rather unwise to have such code in the generic portion of smsq/e? (if indeed it is). Different platforms may, for example, have differing low level housekeeping tasks to perform that could lead to considerable variations in the regularity of the 50Hz frame interrupt, and emulators may not always be able to accurately implement it. I think you (Marcel) once explained that QPC2 regularly re-reads the hardware clock to ensure accuracy - or at least conformity - with Windows. That could be one way of solving the problem across he board? Per _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
