    Speedy3 is a pc screen io speedup program.  All it does it bypass
    the BIOS routines - it writes directly to screen memory.
    
    It speeds up directory listings and some screen io when used with
    the transformer.
    
    bad things about it: displays the author name when you start it,
    and seems to be disabled if you hit the space bar while outputing
    to the screen.
    
    There is a slightly better program called RAW.EXE that is wherever
    the easynet pc toolshed moved to (used to be on PAR5::).
    It has no banner, and isn't disabled by the space bar.  Maybe just
    slightly faster than Speedy3.
    
    Neither program speeds up the emulation, just the screen io.
