Hello!
I'm using a TimerEvent-Message (to be send every second) for getting the
same speed on every PC.
But some users (8086-8286-owners) said that the program is too slow while other
ones (486dx4-, pentium-,...-owners) were complaining about a too-fast-program.
As far as I've noticed, GEOS sometimes isn't capable of sending the
timer-message every second (e.g. while printing) so this is the reason for
the lack of speed on low-end-pcs.
But what about the high-end-pcs?
Is it possible that geos speeds up on them?
Turbo Pascal's "delay"-operation, e.g., fails on these pcs, too,
because their cpus are too fast.
So does Geos miscount 800 milliseconds as one secondon faster cpus, e.g. ?!
Can anybody proof this?
In a hurry
Joerg
