Dave:

It does not lose any "real time": I have timed it with a stopwatch. But it will
do the following, say in a blitz game-- 09:53 09:52 09:50 09:49 09:47, etc.  But
in a minutes time I don't lose any "real time". Is this the DOS affect in
windows or is there some adjustment I need to make?

Thanks,

Cj
