Funny.  I had a Sierra game running in a window; the game normally does some
simple animation when waiting for input.  Sure 'nuff, the animation
continues when the game isn't the active application.  It's a bit slow,
but it is a graphics program running in the background.  I have a Hercules
card--that may be the difference...
