Thanks for that information, this is very good to know. It is a pity that the official Beta Tester did not know about this, and instead claimed that CSTal loses on time "in order to be more humanlike". This created much critisism of a fine program. Anybody who misses this thread will go on thinking CSTal loses on time on purpose. With official advice like that I wonder why the Author gave up & moved on to other game programming. Thanks again, Tina Long
