Lee,

LA>    In warp 3 and warp 4 beyond FP 6, the call is AX = 1680h Int =

I didn't know the FP 6 part of this!

would you mind if I got it from you and posted in the source tidbits for the
PowerBASIC crew?  There have been a fair number of discussion threads on time
releasing in that group, which always goes back to things which don't of
course, include OS/2!

Posting it there, and/or, perhaps, adapting it to in-line assembler might be
worth a lot to folks...

Sincerely ..
