I am having some trouble w.r.t. to the screen print rate of my compiled
VB/DOS programs..I was wondering if anybody had a good solution to my
problem.  Here is my situation

I am writing a program which get data from a counter card, converts
it to a usable quantity and prints it to a picture window in extra large 
numbers. I am using subroutines (gosub type, not CALL type) to print the
numbers to the screen. These subs in-turn print the numbers by setting 
the currentX and currentY paramters for my picture box, then printing one
of the extended characters (like chr$(201)) to that location. 

The problem I have is that I need the program to update the screen as 
fast as possible. I used the same technique (sp?) in a QB 4.5 program 
(using LOCATE and then PRINT CHR$()) and these method is extremely faster.

I was wondering if there would be a faster method of printing my large numbers
to the picture box or am I doing this the hard way or what?? 

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx.
