Hi Bob,

BV> Int 0x08 every 200us, but you must keep track of how many times
BV> you've been called and on every 275th call you then pass the
BV> Interrupt through you to whoever had it before you stole it,
BV> then the bloke further down the chain will do his thing and

BL>  By "hooking an interrupt" do you mean writing an interrupt service
BL> routine and passing its address to Int8 (IRQ0... $08)?

Yes.

BL> I'll give it a go, but I've worked out an easy way to get around the
BL> midnight thing anyway... just time it again if it rolls over.

Fair enough.

BL> BTW, why is Hardly Normal selling Win95 for $60? Is a new version due?

Yep. Win-97 coming to a store near you.
