History of ViewS:

 ViewS V2.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * (98-06-29) Fixed a very nasty bug, preventing the boolean expression
	       search from working... (Just forgot to reset one register to
	       zero in the inner loop. And of course it was zero anyway when
	       entering the search function - until I released V1.99. What
	       a coincidence :-/)
	      Fixed a bug in the input history. Crashed when entries with
	       a length above avout 70 chars appeared in the list.
	      Added key <F5> as synonym for <G> (GoTo-function). Just to
	       make the live easier for people knowing HIEW. :)

	      Sorry that V2.00 is just a fix-release, but somehow two very
	       bad bugs slipped through the testing of 1.99, and I don't
	       want to release a V1.991, cause VIEWS1991.ZIP is too long. ;)

 ViewS V1.99
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * (98-06-25) Added 'GoTo'-function. Key <O> will ask for the offset of the
	       new position, key <L> asks for the line. Key <G> (GoTo) will
	       ask for an offset or a line, depending on what's shown
	       (ofs/line) in the statusline currently
	       (e.g. if you are in Raw- or in Text-mode).
	       It will assume decimal values per default. If the value
	       begins with '0x' or '$', or ends with 'h', or contains
	       characters between 'A' and 'F', then it's taken as hexadecimal.
	       You can make ViewS assume ALWAYS hex offsets (not lines),
	       by enabling [ForceHexOfs] in VIEWS.CFG.
	      Added (Goto related) commandline options /L<lnr> and /O<ofs>.
	       Use /O to move the screen to a certain file offset and /L to
	       a certain line number initially. (Both will override saved
	       positions, and accept hexadecimal values with the same syntax
	       mentioned above (for 'GoTo'-function).)

	      Added commandline option /F which will activate the line-
	       selection focus (like key <Enter>) already at startup.
	       (could be useful in conjunction with /S...)
	      Added key <Ins> which will (like <Space>) toggle the selection
	       of the currently focused line (if selection focus (key <Enter>)
	       is active). (If you use an "orthodox filemanager" like VC, NC
	       or UFO you will know why. ;)

	      That's enough testing (what testing? ;)
	       V1.99 will be released this night.

 * (98-06-23) Homepage (http://www.comports.com/obiwan) is online :)
	      Searching shows an own position bar (progress bar) now.
	       (So you can see which part of the file is analyzed currently.)

 * (98-06-22) Added a wrapped-search option. If it is enabled and searching
	       hits the fileend, then it will continue searching at filebegin
	       (till the point where the search has started).
	       In conjunction with SearchNext (<N> or <Shift>-<F7>) it will
	       remember where the initial searching has begun and search
	       up to that point after wrapped to filebegin - so no position
	       can be found more than once.
	       You can choose if this feature is always activated or never,
	       or if you want to be asked to decide when fileend is reached.
	       (in VIEWS.CFG: option [WrappedSearch] On|Off|Ask)
	       ("Ask" by default.).

	      Changed SearchNext-function so that the previous search-result
	       isn't cleared anymore, if SearchNext failed.
	       With the old behaviour it would have started to search at
	       screen-begin again when doing a new SearchNext after a failed
	       try. The new will just tell you again that nothing has been
	       found.
	       You will have to clear the old search-result (<Del>) or start
	       a new search then.
	       I think this is more logical and besides gives you the correct
	       number of hits (via the position-number; key <P>), if you just
	       kept holding the <N>-key till the search failed, now.

 * (98-06-17) You can choose now if you want the history-list checked for
	       duplicated entries when you open the history-list (the old
	       behaviour) or when a new entry is added to the list.
	       The second choice (check when add) will have no delay when
	       opening the history-list, but maybe a short delay when adding
	       a new entry to an already quite long list. I prefer this short
	       delay to the longer delay at listopening, but it's you choice.
	       ( [CleanHistory] (No,AddChk,ListChk) in VIEWS.CFG. )

 * (98-06-12) When you open an input-historylist, succeeding identical entries
	       are (permanently) removed from the list now. If you don't like
	       that you can disable it via [CleanHistory] in VIEWS.CFG.
	       (Try this, if you experience a delay when opening the history-
		list.)
 * (98-06-11) Fixed a small bug regarding the search-function.
	       (Under rare conditions the reported found-offset could
		be a few bytes too low.)
	      Added <Shift>-<N> which will search for next match with
	       (temporarily) CenterFoundForced enabled.
	       (This will center matches on the screen.)
	      You can confirm input (in inputlines) with <Ctrl>-<Enter>
	       now. In opposition to <Enter> this will not memorize the 
	       input (as if InputHistory would be disabled).
	       
 * (98-06-10) Added an input-history. Means: Everything you type in an
	       inputline (and confirm with <Enter>) is memorized, and
	       can be brought back into the inputline for recycling ;)
	       (pressing <Down> or <F2> inside an inputline, will bring
		up a (scrollable) list with earlier inputs, which can
		be confirmed by <Enter> or <Space>, removed from the
		history by <Del> (without any confirmation) or canceled
		by <Esc>)
	       For more information read VIEWS.DOC chapter .5.
	       (the history can be disabled via [InputHistory] in VIEWS.CFG;
		related entry: [PromoteHistory])

	      Added a 'remove'-function (key <Del>) to all the savefile-
	       lists (<Strg>-<F>, <Strg>-<F3>, <Strg>-<F8>) which will
	       remove the currently selected entry (similar to <Del> in
	       InputHistoryLists) from the save-file.
	       There will be *no* confirmation-request! (Maybe will change
	       later... don't know if needed.)

	      Changed behaviour of <Space>. It still stops scrolling, but
	       if AutoStop is deactivated (e.g. in Reader's Mode, key <R> )
	       it can also start scrolling now. (Requested by user :)
	       (In Reader's Mode: hit <Space> to stop; hit again to continue)

	      Fixed colors of lists. (Didn't was a problem as long as you
	       doesn't changed [WinAttr].) There are three new color-
	       keywords ( [ListAttr], [ListHeaderAttr], [ListCursorAttr] )
	       now.

 ViewS V1.991
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * (98-06-03) Fixed a little bug sometimes showing wrong tabulators after 
	       startup.
	      Added a [ShowLocked] option in VIEWS.CFG. You can disable the
	       screen-darkening (signaling a busy (non-scrollable) screen)
	       now, if you don't like that hard change of brightness.
	       (btw, I fixed that related bad flickering happening during
		fast searches...) (Requested by User)

 * (98-06-01)
 Adjusted the colors of the FocusLine (btw, can be changed now) (<Enter>) ,
  Selections and FoundMarker so that they fit a bit better together.
  (I'm still not absolutely happy with them, but didn't found a better combo.)
 ViewS is now completely 80286-compatible again. (I hope I didn't forgot
  something... Please tell me, if there are problems.)
 Fixed a bug in the FormatWrap-function (lines with much leading spaces
  were drawn vertically at the right border (wrapwith=1)).

 * (98-05-31)

 Sorry, but the first version of that BoolSearch was much too slow and
  somehow instable =). The new version is releasable now I think (or hope).
  But it still needs some testing so the (non-beta) release will still take
  some time (Especially now, when my onboard COM-ports are history. RIP.
  I gotta get some FIFO-card before I can upload anything... :-(  )
[rules...]

 Rewrote the searchresult-marker. It can show results including multiple
  lines now and is more reliable.
 Temporarily removed the GetSearchStr-function (key <G>).
  (I mostly just used it as a ruler... ;)

 Added a real ruler <grin>. (<Shift>-<R>) It can be moved around on the
  current screen, and shows it's length (changed with +/- or <Shift>-
  <CursorLeft>/<CursorRight>) (length on screen (in chars) and in file
  (in bytes)), the number of the line it's currently in and it's start- and
  end-offset (in file).

 Added a CenterFoundForced-option, which will center the screen always at
  the search-marker, even if it was already in the current screen. (Makes
  it easier to survive if you get maaaannnyy hits.)
  (Option [CenterFoundForced] in VIEWS.CFG)

 Fixed some bugs generally related to searching.
 Fixed a bug usually happening when beginning to scroll upwards and hitting
  an empty line then. It normally just showed some distortion in the
  position-bar (in statusbar).

 * (98-05-12) Just finished a more or less usable version of the boolean
	       expression search.
	       (It's still quite slow for some complex constructions.
		I will redesign it soon... :)
	       (<Ctrl>-<S> or <Ctrl>-<F7> will invoke the BooleanSearch;
		I will change the interface (which is currently just an input-
		line) to be a bit more userfriendly...)

 ViewS V1.99
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * (97-12-07) Added [FastMouseReset] option to VIEWS.CFG for you poor users
	       of Microsoft-mousedrivers. This should fix the long delay at
	       start and exit of ViewS, if you haven't installed a reasonable
	       mousedriver. (I can recommend the freeware CTMOUSE (CuTeMOUSE)-
		driver which fully supports Microsoft-, Mousesystem- and
		Logitech-mode, with less than 8KB memory-needs, and being
		much faster than Microsoft's own... :-))

 * (97-12-06) Added support to read from standard-input (STDIN) which is useful
	       for piping or redirection. Just use an asterisk "*" as filename,
	       to read from STDIN.
	       (Examples:  DIR | VIEWS *
			       ^--pipe-symbol to redirect DIR's output to ViewS)
	       (Just make a batch-file (e.g. VMORE.BAT or VM.BAT ...) which con-
		tains   VIEWS *   and throw away the MORE-command. ;)

 ViewS V1.98
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * (97-12-02) Reworked info-output of VIEWSCFG. (It was a bit "overdone". ;)
	      Fixed a little bug in PACKTXT (directory UTIL\), which prevented
	       the reduction of certain space-sequences.
	      Hmm, I should've released this version long ago... Think I will
	       do it this evening... :]
 * (97-11-23) When searching big files, ViewS can temporarily disable some of
	       the usual disk-caches now:
	       (* NWCache of Novell-DOS (now Caldera OpenDOS 7 :)
		* SmartDrv of MS-DOS 6+
		* PC-Cache (???))
			(I wanted to add HyperDisk too, but my API-infos
			 about it seem to be wrong :-(	I'll see.)
	       This will speed up big-searches by about 40%! What "big" searches
	       are, is defined by [CacheOffSizeKB] in VIEWS.CFG.

 * (97-11-22) When Wrapping is deactivated, ChangeWrapLen (<Shift>-<Left>/
	       <Right>) now begins at the default WrapLen (as Wrap was
	       activated) and not at 65532 (highest WrapLen).
	      If [PosRestoreMsg] in VIEWS.CFG is enabled, now a list of all
	       saved positions, with the current position highlighted, will
	       appear in the message line (when a saved position is restored).
	       [PosRestoreMsg] is enabled by default now.
	      Key <P> will bring up the same list (of saved positions), even
	       if [PosRestoreMsg] is disabled.
	      Changed the statusbar-layout a bit. Information about saved
	       position is gone (key <P> is a better solution), and the number
	       of selected lines is only shown, if the SelectionCursor (<Enter>)
	       is active, or at least one line is selected.
	      Added SavePositionNr (<Ctrl>-<P> or <Ctrl>-<K>) so that you can
	       save you current position to a certain slot, and
	       GoToPositionNr (<Ctrl-<G> or <Ctrl>-<Q>) so that you can jump
	       to a certain position-slot.
	       For SavePositionNr: If there is already a position with that
	       number, it (the old) will get a new number at the end of the
	       position-chain.
	       The first keys (<Ctrl>-<P> and <Ctrl>-<G>) are choosen by logic
	       (save_P_osition and _G_otoposition), while the secondary keys
	       (<Ctrl>-<K> and <Ctrl>-<Q>) are there for Borland-IDE-
	       compatiblity (I love the TP7.0-IDE :-).
	      Saved Positions will remember the search-markers now. So when
	       you restore positions which were stored by the search-function,
	       you will see the found text again.
	      Improved WordWrapping a bit. (Non-"word"-characters at the end of
	       the line aren't wrapped too early anymore, even if there is a
	       "real word" following. And I've chosen a better set of Non-
	       "word"-characters now.)
	      Added a new [FormWrap]-mode. Can be "RightAlign" now, so that
	       wrapped parts of lines will be aligned with the right border of
	       the screen. (The old "On"-setting of [FormWrap] has the synonym
	       "KeepIndent" now, and the "Off"-setting can be given as
	       "LeftAlign".)
	      Changed the beeps a little bit. I "like" it more now. ;)

 * (97-11-19) Added print-function. (<Shift>-<P>) Either the selected lines,
	       or the entire text is printed (if no line selected).
	       The text is printed, as ViewS shows it. Means: wrapping,
	       filtering and tab-expansion is the same on the printed text.
	       Printerport (LPT1..4) and line-terminator (CR/LF, CR, LF) can
	       be selected.
	       (Options [PrnPort] and [PrnCRLF] in VIEWS.CFG)

 * (97-11-16) Now WriteSelection (<Shift>-<W>) asks you if you want to write
	       the entire text, if no lines are selected.

 * (97-11-15) Fixed a little bug in the line-counting-routine.
	      Added key <Alt>-<H> for toggling between soft- and hard-scrolling.

 * (97-11-08) Added a new wrapmode: Formatted Wrap. This will put wrapped parts
	       of a line under the first real character (other than space or
	       tab) of the line-begin. This way, indention of lines will be
	       kept, even at wrapped parts of the line.
	       (Option [FormWrap] in VIEWS.CFG)

 * (97-11-06) Just fixed a little stupid bug, which, under very rare conditions,
	       caused an access-violation-exception. Nothing serious, just
	       stupid. ;-]

 * (97-10-30) Now you can choose if you want <PageUp>/<PageDown> to scroll hard,
	       when <Ctrl> is pressed (as it was before), or as default (with
	       <Ctrl> up). In this case <Ctrl>-<Page...> will scroll soft.
		(Option [HardPage] in VIEWS.CFG)
	      Normal scrolling with <CursorUp>/<CursorDown> now has a "hard"-
	       mode with <Ctrl> hold down, too. As with <Ctrl>-<Page...> hard-
	       scrolling can be made default by option [HardScroll] in
	       VIEWS.CFG. (That's for you people, who get motion-sick by seeing
	       soft-scrolling (Hi Timmy ;)))
		(Btw, if you want faster hard-scrolling hold down <Shift>. If
		 you want fastest scrolling, hold down <Alt> too. ;->)

 ViewS V1.97
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * (97-10-29) CaseINsensitive-search is back. (No speed-loss! :-)
	      Linenumber-count when searching is back too, but now in a more
	       efficient way:
		Only counted, if not in RAW-mode (<Alt>-<T>) or if linenumbers
		are shown in statusline (<Alt>-<L>).
		And now (due to technical (TSearch) reasons), lines are counted
		after and not during the search. But don't worry; the count
		works completely in background. You can still work (read,move,
		search,exit...) while the lines are counted.
	      The same is valid for move-to-EndOfText (key <End>). (Linecounting
	       only if needed and in background.)
	      The textscreen will darken now, when it can't be controlled
	       (when searching, waiting for user-input...).
	      Fixed a small bug related to Attrib- and CharTable when switching
	       between Raw- and Text-mode.
	      SWTCH.EXE will now swap to EMS/XMS/Disk in order to get more free
	       memory for the viewers. (Thanks to Thomas Wagner for his PD-exec-
	       library.)

 * (97-10-20) Implemented a new read- and search-algorithm (TSearch), which
	       made searching MUCH (around 90% !) faster. Up to now,
	       case-sensitive only. Will be fixed.
	      (Btw, it's faster if no diskcache is active... weird, I know ;-))
	       Oh, currently the line-nr. won't be updated during/after a
	       search. Will be fixed.
	      Fixed the percent-overflow-at-very-big-files-bug.
	      VTXT2EXE currently not working - was trashed during the startup-
	       acceleration... (means, only the old VTXT2EXE (v1.96) will run,
	       and the "up-to-date" ViewSCFG won't be able to configurate
	       VTXT2EXE-made EXEs)

 * (97-09-27) Accelerated startup of ViewS. Wasn't a big problem if a disk-
	      cache was loaded, but if not... heavy disk-activity. ;)
	      (During this the [SavDatFile] option in VIEWS.CFG was removed.
	       It wasn't very useful anyway, I think. Now, VIEWSAV.DAT will
	       always be put in VIEWS.EXE's directory.)
	      (Oh, and the check, if VIEWS.CFG is newer than the cfg-data in
	       VIEWS.EXE is gone too. Maybe it will be back later...)

 * (97-07-19) Just replaced my good old ET400W32 with a ET6000, and found ViewS
	      to flicker!!!
	      Fixed it. Should work with all VGA-chipsets now.
	      (The ET6000 doesn't allow changing of the vertical panning (soft-
	       scrolling) right after the vertical retrace - it will be pending
	       until the next frame. Setting it before the wait_for_vertical_
	       retrace routine fixes this problem.)

 * (97-08-13) Found and fixed a little bug: when [CallOldKbHandler] in VIEWS.CFG
	      was ON, the keyboard-buffer wasn't cleared, which resulted in the
	      wellknown keybuffer-overflow beeps. (This didn't happen when
	      switched during runtime via Alt-K (just forgot something).)

 ViewS V1.96
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * (97-04-29) The SAVE-FUNCTION remembers char- and attrib-tables now.
	      (I know, it should have been there just from the beginning...
	       but since I'm obviously the onlyone to use ViewS..., I really
	       don't know why I'm writing this... oh my god, I'm talking
	       to myself again !! ;-)

(V1.95 was skipped, to keep ViewS out of this shit ...95 trend ;-> )
(Hiroshima 45, Tschernobyl 86, Windows 95 ;)


 ViewS V1.94	(2.4.97)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * (1.8.96)  corrected commandlineoption /W bug
	     (/W- didn't turn wrapping off, when wordwrap was enabled)
 * (15.8.96) press <SHIFT> while scrolling vertically, for doubled speed


 ViewS V1.93	(3.6.96)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * added function to extract parts of the file
   ( New keys:
	 -  <Enter>	: switch selection-bar on/off
	 -  <Space>	: toggle selection of currently focused line
	 -  <Ctrl>-<Del>: clear all selections
	 -  <Shift>-<W> : write all selected lines into a file

     New commandline-option:
	 -  /S[+|*]<filename>	: write selected line into file <filename>
				  automatically at exit
   )

 * added VTXT2EXE - an text_to_executable-"compiler", which makes
   textfiles selfexecutable, based on a smaller version of ViewS (features
   basic functions only)

 * ok, I must confess: the search-function *had* still another bug:
    Searchstrings in wrapped lines were highlighted wrong!
   -> just fixed... should be ok now.

 * again changed the wait-function (for beeps). It uses the PIT-Channel0 now,
   which should be more exact and stable than the VRetrace (which depended on
   screen-frequency and desktop-environments (as O*/2 or Windoze)).

 * fixed a little problem with the save-function

 * fixed a little keyboard-handler-bug

 * some internal changes



 ViewS V1.92	(11.4.96)   (not the final version ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * added Grab-Search-String function (<G>)
    Now you can grap any string from the current screen for searching.
    (Use the cursor-keys for moving the selection around, and <Shift>-
     <Left>/<Right> for changing the size of the selection.
     Confirm with <Enter> or abort with <Esc>.

     After confirming the selection, the selected string will be taken
     as the searchstring. Search for it with <N> or edit and search with
     [<Shift>-] <S>.
    )

 * removed "NumLock-Searchstring-Selection" (it was crap)

 * interrupts are locked now during the critically timed scrolling-parts

    Previous versions of ViewS began to flicker while scrolling, when
    some "heavy" programs (like MOD-Players and so on) ran in background (may
    be as TSRs or in multitaskers...)

    This should fix that problem. (Don't dare to flicker again, you shitty
				   piece of code... ;-> )
    (Ah, now even the timeshare works w/ CubicPlayer in the background	;-)

    Oh btw, this could probably cause a problem with such fake multitaskers
    as Winshit 3.1! AFAIK they sometimes get problems, when interrupts are
    locked.
    So you can deny the int.-lock by setting [NoCLI] (in VIEWS.CFG) to ON.


   __About one hour later...__ (5:15 in the morning)

     Sorry, but I've just found another problem: Although ViewS runs smooth
     now, the backgroundtask is radically slowed down by this fix.
     This is a big problem for moduleplayers. The sound plays more slowly and
     stops sometimes. (See below "Timingproblems" for an explanation).

     I had to introduce another option, to avoid this new problem.
     If you realize problems with background-soundplayers, try to lower or
     raise the value [DelayCLI] (in VIEWSCFG).

 * yeah, I found some bugs in the search-function
    Didn't fixed them up to now...


 ViewS V1.9  (around 6.3.96)  (maybe the final version...)
~~~~~~~~~~~
 * added WordWrap, where a word will be completely put to the next line, if
   it exceeds the current wrapwidth (linewidth) instead of breaking the word
   to the next line.
   (key: <W>) (in VIEWS.CFG: [Wrap] Word )
 * added keyfunction <Shift>-<S> for case-sensitive search
 * added Filtered textmode (<Alt>-<F>), where all ASCIIs below 32 is
   filtered out
 * added Char-conversion-tables
     + [ChrTab] and [DefChrTab] in VIEWS.CFG
     + <C>, <Shift>-<C>, <Ctrl>-<C> in ViewS
     + commandline-option /C<TableName>
 * added color-attribute tables (color-highlighting)
     + [AttrTab] and [DefAttrTab] in VIEWS.CFG
     + <A>, <Shift>-<A> and <Ctrl>-<A> in ViewS
     + commandline-option /A<TableName>
 * added selection of search-strings (words) directly from the screen.
   (keys: <Num> and NumPad-<CursorKeys>)
 * added possibility for scrolling the screen "below 0".
   (key: <Scroll-Lock>) (in VIEWS.CFG: [ScrollLock])
 * added <Ctrl>-<Home> for resetting horizontal position to 0.
 * analog (vertical) mouse-mode got a little bit finer
    (begins now with speed 0.5 instead of speed 1)

 * added videomodes with any number of lines from 10 to 61.
 * added videomode with 90 columns
     (+ keys <Alt>-<9> and <Alt>-<8>)
 * added <Shift>-<Alt>-<M> for choosing the previous screenmode
 * added <Ctrl>-<M> for choosing screenmode from a list
 * changed [VideoMode] entry in VIEWS.CFG. Now it can be:
     L<n>   - <n> in [10..61] - for setting number of lines   (e.g. L25)
  or
     C<n>   - <n> is 80 or 90 - for setting number of columns (e.g. C80)
  or
    <n>X<m> - <n> is 80 or 90/ <m> in [10..61] - for setting number of columns
	      and number of lines (e.g. 90x61)


 * added <Ctrl>-<F> for a list of all files saved in savefile
 * removed [SavChkNoDir] from VIEWS.CFG
 * added <Ctrl>-<F3> to load any stored position from savefile
 * added <Ctrl>-<F8> to remove any stored position from savefile

 * added selection of current screen-refresh-frequency
   (out of 4 internal VGA-frequencies)
    + [ScrFreq] in VIEWS.CFG
    + <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<S> in ViewS

 * removed a bug which caused some errors when counting wrapped lines
 * mouse-position will be restored correctly at exit now
 * the wait-function (for the beeps) now uses the horizontal-retrace-flag
   of the VGA-card for timing, instead of INT 15h/AH=86h
   (This should avoid the problems of some DX2-systems with buggy INT15h-BIOS-
    function...)

 * search-routine now 50% faster
 * endsearch-rountine now 35% faster

 * added Sw(i)tch

 * changed some internal stuff...
 * creatively introduced some more bugs ;)

 (hmm, did I forget something ???)

 ViewS V1.85
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 First release...

--------------------------------------------------
   ("Timingproblems" (I promised it ;->):
     You know, that a *smooth* scrolling requires, that all screenchanges are
     made during the vertical retrace. Now there is the typical loop, where
     you wait for it, by watching the VRetrace-Flag.
     Now it can happen (and it does so very often), that the background-
     task takes control just before the VRetrace begins and holds the loop
     some cycles while the VRetrace is already over.
     So the wait-loop doesn't realize the VRetrace and waits one full frame
     until the changes can be done.
     The result is the heavy flicker known from earlier ViewS-versions.

     Now you think, the solution is easy. Use a CLI to avoid, that the back-
     groundtask takes control while you are watching the VRetrace-Flag.
     That's just what I made one hour before.

     Here comes the new problem: ViewS is that fast (he he ;), that it only
     needs around 1% to 5% of a frame (on my AMD486-120) to do all the work.
     The remainder is spent in the loop waiting for the VRetrace to happen.
     All over this "rest" the interrupts will be locked; the background-task
     will be disabled.
     Now imagine that the background-task gets only 1-5% of the time and you
     can imagine the slowdown (of the music).

     The solution for this, is to slowdown ViewS that way, that the waiting-
     loop (where the interrupts are locked) will get less time.
     So I simply put another loop in front of the VRetrace-Wait, and wait a
     bit (about 70% of a frame), while the background-task can do it's job.
     Of course I used the PIT-channel #0 to get software-independed.

     Actually this loop should work fine on any system. But inhomogen timing
     of background-task and different system-speeds can still cause slowdowns
     or flickers.


     So I put the DelayCLI-value in the config-file so that you can adjust
     the length of the "front"-loop.
     But unfortunately there is no "best" value for it.
     If it is to low, the background-task won't get enough time.
     If it is to high, ViewS can miss the VRetrace, so that the scrolling
     will flicker and the background-task is delayed again.

     Uhh, problems over problems... bye.
