Subject: How to free CPU time?
Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2005 18:41:03 -0300	[thread overview]

What is the best method to release cpu usage inside dosemu?

The problem is: I have made a program that runs in a loop checking 
keyboard, mouse, network, etc.. It cannot call bios read key function 
and lock there. But I can release time in the event loop.

Should I do HLT, call int28 many times? If I do HLT, will it restart 
after "interrupt" events like keyboard, mouse, packet driver, timer 
(54ms), etc?

thanks,
Alain
PS: I still have the problem below, BC31 is important because most of 
FreeDOS itself is made with it...
