Ability to detect heavy CPU load can be important information for me, that e.g. I did something wrong (for example, some loop has to be done differently). As for multitasking: no, Forths - at least the ones for DOS - don't do preemptive, but cooperative multitasking. Then still I would to know, how many % of CPU time will be left unused, when the graphics - corpse rotation in this particular case - has been done. It'll tell me, what else can I do without slowing down the display; do I have spare CPU-power, or not. -- Z. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
