This always puzzles me.  People are often remarking on how fast TC's
text IO libraries are, but I found them to be extremely slow.  I ended
up writing my own screen IO package in assembler, and it is very much
faster than TC's.  I have been using TC since it first came out -- am
I just missing something?
