Any one can use bilingual ex_r.exe to get faster interpretation for SVGA just now, so the problem is not that urgent and you have some time for better testing of OW_1.4..1.x, Rob. > For now, translator users can use OW1.4 to get much faster > SVGA graphics than with the interpreter.

To Vincent: I use just 2 calls of time() in that test, so there is almost nothing to do with time() in that program, it is not a multitasking one. Regards, Igor Kachan kinz at peterlink.ru
