And, thanks for doing so. :)

Actually, the major reason I'm still using the XT version is for
backward compatibility (I still have a few XTs, here). But, since I
haven't even fired-up one of the old beasts in a couple of years, let
alone read mail on one, I guess I wouldn't be missing much by switching
to the PM version. I don't really like upgrading, though, and actually
prefer running less complex (which usually translates to "older")
software. The fact that I've upgraded this version on a few occasions
can be considered to be a feather in your cap. <G>

Regarding the XT version's inability to release time-slices (related to
"ClockMode"), perhaps an inline call to Int 2FH, Function 1680H could be
of help? I'd be happy to test it, here (in Windows 95/DOS).
