Hey Bubba, I'll keep in mind your recomanations. And "...I won't go into that here.", you have reason, that isn't my thread.
I make my first post on that thread because I was remembering that when I started using Allegro (yes, I have already seen that the post is about OGL) there was a timer function and the game speed was controlled via that timer.

And forget my posts if I have induced to confusion.
