I think the big different between DOS and Windows will be the windows programs are structured differently. With MSDOS you "own" the computer and there is nothing else going on. It is like programming an embedded micro controller. With Windows you respond to events. For example in DOS to read once every second you would do the read, do a one second delay and then loop back. In Windows you'd start a one second timer and then do your read as a response to the timer event. No delay loop. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
