SS> EMFBI, but I've always called INT 28h to give up time slices in the OS/2
 SS> DOS box.  I don't recall where I picked up this information on giving up

int 28 has to be called many times (100's) during a short period for os/2's
"idle detection" to kick in,  so it is not a very good method.

ax=0x1680,  int 0x2f is a much better (2nd best) method.

The best method,  is,  of course,   to get off your lazy ass and port your
program to OS/2! :-)
