I have D/l'd the EMX OS/2 Compiler and hope to start to learn more about PM
Programming. I have made a C program here that I Need to run in the
Backgrnd here, Really has me annoyed as I spent many hours on it converting
it over from a text application to a nice looking Graphics Program. Even
with background settings turned on and priority away up it refuses to
update/create a log file hourly in the backgrnd But Will if in the
foregrnd. This baffles me and makes me wonder if the hourly function is
even executing. I think OS/2 is
cutting the programs priority to 0 while in backgrnd? Works 100% while in
Foregrnd though.?
 Sorry about straying from our topic. Thanks for your suggestions regarding
C++ and C. take care and ttul..
