I have found that using tick_rate()under DOS32 with any legal value other
than 0 increases the speed of time() by a factor of more than 100.

I think that it replaces the INT #08 (system timer) code with a different
function internally.

IIRC, it was necessary to call tick_rate() before trapping INT #08 (system
timer)
or my replacement ASM code wouldn't get executed.

Comments, Rob?

BTW, thanks for your effort on the include issue.  I hope it all works.
