SS> EMFBI, but I've always called INT 28h to give up time slices in the O

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

Ah, I see...

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

Changed it to the Windows call.

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

Done that, too.  Most of my shareware now comes with both DOS and native
OS/2 versions, but there are reasons why some of my users must use the
DOS version instead of the native OS/2 versions and hence the question.
I'll go back to lurk mode now...   Thanks!
