He since discovered that zero was NOT correct, although it appears to work. The correct value for each of those delay bytes should be one. About a year ago, I received verbal permission to publish his patch file, stripped of identification, but I forgot to actually do so until you brought the subject up. I will upload the file to the SIMTEL20 tomorrow. Look for PATCHWS.ASM in MICRO:. It applies to WS 3.0, and may have to be slightly modified for 3.3. The remainder of the patch concerns itself with intercepting the console status calls, and making the actual calls every 16th. This significantly improves the screen updates! --Frank
