I was under the impression that the quick frame rate was due to 'frame
swapping' occurring solely within the video memory (and not having any
I/O with the processor). Randall, you are suggesting that the PC is
still transferring pages between the video card and the processor? Hmmm
- if this were the case, then I wonder why RSI didn't persue something
that would lend itself more to extended viewing ala Windows Media
Player. Just thinking out loud. Brain stop that.

BTW Randall, I noticed that IDL 5.3 includes audio and possibly a few
other features that you had incorporated in your utility release
submitted to myself and available on Ronn's website. As I have not
gotten my hands on 5.3 yet, is there any correlation between their
features and yours - i.e. did they accept your libraries?
