I have a program that I've written that displays on the current screen
a insect (sprite-driven) that I usualy run in the backround, much like
the infamous oing-series written by leo schwab.  I am looking for
suggestions on how I can interupt this program during disk
accesses/compiling/other expensive cpu accesses.  I guess the buzzing
insect has so many WaitTOF()s that the little guy really slows
up the system, especially text scrolling.
	netiquette:TIA :-)      thanx in advance
ps. if anyone wants the insect thing I'd be all too happy...
