I am looking for suggestions on how I can interupt this program during disk accesses/compiling/other expensive cpu accesses. I guess the buzzing insect has so many WaitTOF()s that the little guy really slows up the system, especially text scrolling. netiquette:TIA :-) thanx in advance ps. if anyone wants the insect thing I'd be all too happy... -- __ __ __ __ __ __ __....hey aliens: __ __ / X A / X C / X \ / we are flesh and blood and DNA, / X U / \ T / / G G / / \ \ / formed out out of the big bang's decay A _/ \__G__/ C__X__/ \__X__/ owhite@nmsu.edu (Owen White) \ G
