- Your analysis is correct. Executor reprograms the timer chip to get
- 60 Hz interrupts instead of the usual 18.2 Hz. Theoretically it
- resets the timer chip back to 18.2 Hz when you exit Executor, but two
- people have now reported that this doesn't seem to be working. We'll
- try to fix it before releasing 1.99f.
-
- For now, you can say "executor -newclock 0" and Executor won't
- reprogram the clock chip. Of course, this can cause compatibility
- problems with programs that demand 60 interrupts per second, but such
- programs are relatively rare.
-
- This problem will of course only affect Executor/DOS users.
