on a related subject: there's a game called "space goose" (shareware, or was it pd?) available from info.umd.edu in info/Computers/PC/AfterHours/Recreation sg??.zip which makes the dos time run at 2 or 3 times normal speed while you're playing i.e. if you play for five minutes your clock will be 5 or 10 minutes fast afterwards i do not understand this, wondered if the programmer thought it would make the clock slow and tried to compensate for that and overdid it? -- We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming, already in progress...
