I just discovered that the way I wrote it, it will only work properly at HZ=1000. I'll post the updated file once I have fixed it, which should be soon. Actually, I should rephrase that... the way I wrote it, anything over hz=1000 should work relatively well, but anything under hz=1000 would have serious timing issues. Of course, I'd still appreciate it if people would continue testing... just keep the hz setting near 1000. (I haven't found any other bugs yet.) Mike "Silby" Silbersack
