so i'll bow to your knowledge on this rpg, it's not possible?

i'd love it if there was a way to understand this without getting into a lot of computer science and all (don't worry, i'm not complaining about the word thread, with you so far) but it just seems wrong that on a faster machine with a bigger os, i can't run stuff designed to run on an 8088 without hogging the cpu ffs.

i'm not really that simple, i mean i realize you're running an emulator, or sdl, or all sorts of 32bit code (and i have never said i don't want basic to be 32bit!) just to print "hello world," but it bothers me that firefox rarely eats resources like almost anything in basic. if the solution to this is to add "sleep 5 milliseconds" after every "do" or "for" in my program, so be it, but if this must be a science instead of compiler design, i'd like it to be a science, not some vague tip without an explanation. (i tried this tip once with a little success.) i'm not blaming you for anything, i'm pretty content to blame windows for this one, until i get the reply i'm looking for from whoever has one. if it's your reply, all the better. cheers.
