- CHILL OUT!!! It wastes no processing time whatsoever. The WPS is
- waiting for keypresses and processing them anyways (arrows, etc) This
- is about two lines in a switch statement (no, I'm not implying OS/2 was
- written in C :)) Anyway, if you're so strapped on harddrive space that
- you can't afford the 64209 bytes that it takes up (yes, thats exact)
- then you're a fool. Here's the sceneraio: You've worked for three years
- on a programming assignment, and you go talk with the people that you
- work for and you say "is anyone every going to know that I spent three
- years of my life making this thing?" And you know what your boss says?
- He sayes "hell no, its our property, not yours" Well, I'm sure IBMers
- know about this little feature that they put into OS/2, and I'm proud to
- have it there.
