So I could use this instead of the delay() function?

Yes... I have functions to give up timeslices, and there is also a
spawn function which updates timer pointers, and does a lot of other
things and should be called at least once a second...the main thing
I have to fix is all the places where I am using that basic delay()
function... when the bbs slows down, the delay times REALLY slow
down.. but like that spiral that was fixed, I want to apply the same
idea whereever I use the delay fucntion to cut down or lessen these
slowdowns . :)

Thanks for the code...
