Open 386MAX 8.56, English (US) and German (GR).

Waits ten times too long

Since the build moved to OpenWatcom, every timed wait of the DOS programs (SETUP, MAXIMIZE, ASQ and the other programs with the Qualitas user interface) lasted ten times as long as intended: the time was read in clock ticks, of which OpenWatcom counts 100 per second where Microsoft C counted 1000. Examples: the MAXIMIZE logo stood 25 seconds instead of 2.5, an Express Maximize phase waited 50 seconds instead of 5 at its end, and MAXIMIZE /T (accept the default after a timeout) waited 5 minutes instead of 30 seconds.

No other changes since 8.55.

Tested in QEMU with complete installations and Maximize: MS-DOS 6.22, MS-DOS 7.1, Enhanced DR-DOS, FreeDOS 1.4, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and Windows 98 SE.

Files: per language a 1.44 MB floppy set (disk1, disk2), a 32 MB USB image, an ISO and a ZIP; SHA256SUMS.
