Just for the record..... it's the way the DOS program is written that
sucks
CPU. Then again, that was OK for MS-DOS programs, since under MS-DOS only
the one program is using the CPU anyway.
Also, I KNOW there is a DOS or BIOS interrupt service which you can call
with CALL INTERRUPT which yields clock slices. I just don't know which one
or what parameters. You might try searching the PowerBASIC online forum
for
this, as that is where I think I saw it. (http://www.powerbasic.com,
