MS-DOS uses the BIOS to ~write to the screen, and NNANSI writes directly to video memory, and can ~do scrolling by pointing the start of the video page down one row in ~memory. I take it you have tested this? Have stats? ObToDoHack: Test NNANSI to see if it actually speeds DOS up and doesn't slow down anything else that uses int 10h. ObCalculatorHack: Made a power generator out of a servo motor so that I could operate my calculator on wind power. Used 4 Leggs containers, aluminum tubing, and the old servo motor tach. =Bob=
