1. win32lib ver0.44e and win32lib tutorial demo
------=_NextPart_000_01BF3945.6BD4D460
Could anyone who is playing with win32lib, version 0.44e, AND has a REALLY
FAST computer please try out this program. I'm concerned about the MyTimer1
value in line 77.
Should I speed it up or slow it down to make it look 'decent', and still
allow one to click on the bmp? My 'ancient' puter doesn't help me here 
....thanks, Wolf. wolfritz at king.igs.net

It's not too fast on a fast system. It runs at about the same speed on a
550 MHz as it does on a 400 MHz PentiumII system. I've found that there is
a limit as to how fast a timer will respond regardless of the speed of the
CPU. I brought up this issue once before because I couldn't get the speed
I wanted with a standard timer even though I knew it could go faster. Once
the limit is reached (about 50 milliseconds/tick) all other timer events
are ignored.

I decided to experiment with this and it seems that on a dual proc 550 MHz
system running Windows 2000 the fastest I could set a timer was 15
milliseconds/tick (not 50 as I mentioned above). The speed difference
between 15 and 25 (as you have in your 'screen2.exw' program) is negligible
and is not too fast. I can still easily click on the floating logo...
