Got it. So you actually measure the fps instead of computing it based on
scanline count (or some other quantity)? How do you measure the time?
What's the process you're using? (remember I'm not a software guy, so keep
it high level if you can. ;)

Yeah, good old dos indeed. Everytime windoze crashes my harddrive, I swear
I'm gonna make a primary dos partition and install 6.22. But I always forget.
And after the 4+ hours of installing windoze and drivers and such, I can never
seem to force my self to repartition. Sigh....

Hmmm....I'll have to try that out, after I complete the move to Boston.

Heh...only if it compiles and decompiles properly. ;) And only if there's
a runtime option for which machine to compile it to. After all...if it's
written in Perl, it should be able to run on almost any architecture, including
Atari 8-bits...right? :P
