OK; that's all sorted out and I've accordingly uploaded a new version to
<http://www.seasip.info/Gem/aeses.html> with these changes:
1. The high-res timer call has been moved to the screen driver where it
belongs.
2. You therefore need to download a modified VGA driver from
<http://www.seasip.info/Gem/gengem.html>. Otherwise the animation will be
too fast to see.
3. The delay is now a user-settable option in GEM.CFG (though SETTINGS.APP
hasn't yet been updated to support it). The entry should read something
like:
GEM.AES.ZoomDelay: 00001800
where the number is a hexadecimal number of microseconds, so the lower the
number the faster the animation. Set the number to 00000000 for maximum
speed.
