Would someone here be kind enought to explain to me how OS/2 
   handles idle calls from a DOS application ??

   Currently, I poll the keyboard  for keystrokes, and call one or 
   more of the idle ints, after branching to one of my own 
   background procedures. The background procs from time to time 
   include a timer based on the BIOS save time area. (Checks the 
   accumulated number, NOT hooked 1C).

   The problem is, OS/2 seems to take these idle notices too 
   literally, and I have a hard time getting accurate readings from 
   the BIOS...what should be a 55 ms tick turns into four or five 
   times that.

   Surely there must be some simple method of giving up idle cycles 
   without getting put to sleep ?

   Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

                                               L.A.
