that's for sure.

      It wasn't the IM programmer, but the programmer who initially wrote the
TP program.

      Could be.  :)

      There's a couple of these types of patches out to fix thie same problem.

      I've been using patched imnc.exe here for years now, without any
problems.

      Up to you.

      I would rather fix the problem than slow an already slow computer down,
_especially_ when it's multitasking.  Fiddling with the clock will affect
ALL programs running in other tasks, not just the one you wish to 'fix'.

      But, it's your system, you can do as you wish.  :)
