- I do plan to get Future Basic, however, I've no intention of waiting
- around every time they tell me "Next Month" :-) I did find out what they
- do wrong. They not only call _GetNextEvent on every line, but they also
- make a LOT of calls to _SystemTask. I've even found a timing routine
- where they check the timer, and call _SystemTask over and over again.
- This really slows things down under System 7.... I've also tried to
- replace this with a call to WaitNextEvent, however, all I've managed to do
- was crash the machine. :-) See my other messages about patching...
