	Jawaid, can u please elaborate on time actions off the
heartbeat?  Are u referring to the GS internal clock or what?  I'm
curious to know 'coz I'm trying to find a good way to sequence the
events in a game I'm writing.  For instance, how do I ensure consistent
timing between say the first wave of asteriods and the second wave of
aliens?  BTW, Space Fox seems pretty inconsistent in its between the
waves timing; sometimes the next wave comes out quickly whereas other
times it pauses for quite some time.
	Thanks in advance.
