I'm pretty sure that most of the problems I'm having are caused by
clock() not working on MacMiNT, therefore no timeouts, so wdraft, scrollbars,
menus and some other things don't work entirely as they should...

(ah , this also explains why wperfmon reports that my processor is
infinitely fast ;-)

So far however my attempts to make clock() use the sysvar struct instead
of reading low-memory globals which aren't in the same place on the Mac
as they are on an Atari have been dismal failures...

I don't think my old '030 is fast enough, whatever wperfmon might say
to the contrary...

OK, I'll try that.

Yes, and maybe locore.h too for reasons of consistency.

P.S. I've uploaded my scripts for converting Universal Headers to
http://bvsd.k12.co.us/~oddie/prog/develop.tar.gz (or is it .z? I can't 
remember...)
