Re: Time

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

I tried running in the straight DOS mode that comes with Windows 95.  The 
program ran, and I noticed nothing for an hour or so.  Then I saw an error 
message "program needs Win32."

Rob's program was happily running doing nothing - just not writing 
files.  So I cannot run in this mode.

Can I tell the dos that comes (turn off windows and come up in dos mode) 
with Windows 95 to run in 32 bit mode?  How do I do it?

I am running back in Windows 95.  Over the next few days I will try a 
different way to measure time.  Sigh!
