[...] It's an old well known bug in MS-Windows consoles in Win9x which causes horrible delay in some functions. It affects all Win32 (not DOS) programs using console window in these systems. Inside GTWIN we eliminated all functions which are slow down by this bug except two ones used to set cursor position and shape and to read keyboard input because they do not have any replacement :( In some application greatly helps SET CURSOR OFF which disables one of "slow" functions. Of course if it can be used in give context. Alternatively you can drop GTWIN and switch to GTWVT. AFAIK MS has never released patches for Win9X console so you will have to leave with it. The problem is known from 1995 so it's much older then Harbour. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
