SA> A few hundred who cares. A million then yeah use pointers. :) How, about 2-10 records at a time. The program is okay when one user is on the bbs, but when a second or third user is on the bbs then it is all hell tring to type something in the telnet client. The keys seem like they stick. (Wait a few seconds, before they get printted to the screen). The ansi screens scrolls about 3 lines then pauses then scrolls two more then pauses then scrolls 5 more (not in that order, but in general it does that). When two users are online. It sucks and I am looking to resolve the issue of cpu usage then maybe speed up the program. chris --- Renegade v12-15.3 - Alpha * Origin: The Titantic BBS Telnet - ttb.slyip.com (1:129/305) .
