- What are the more common ways of making a program that uses animation run the
- same speed on all Macs. I am having trouble because the Time Manager and
- Vertical Rectrace Manager do not allow the their tasks to call graphics
- routines since Quickdraw routines access the Memory Manager. There are
- ways involving polling global flags set by a Time Manager task or Vertical
- Retrace Manager task, but these approaches waste CPU time that should be
- available to background tasks. Does anyone have any ideas?
