Now that I got some working mode 13h code to hack
(thanx alot to Sinan!), I decided to test how fast
it was.  I've been using uclock & clock to do my
timing procedures but I always seem to get a
SIGFPE error(division by zero) at line 54:

fps=7680/((t[2]-t[1])/UCLOCKS_PER_SEC)
                or
fps=7680/((t[2]-t[1])/CLOCKS_PER_SEC)

This is odd because it does not occur when I compile
w/O0 or O1.

Here's my code if anybody is interested.
