Cool!  Thanks again.


Now back to TFPTimer.  I got it working with a hack in 
TFPTimerThread.Execute:


As implemented it calls Synchronize(@T.Timer).  This does *not* work.  
In desperation I hacked it to call Queue(@T.Timer) and it works 
perfectly.  I understand the difference between Synchronize and Queue, 
but I sure don't know why Queue works and Synchronize doesn't in this 
case.  (Only on the PI,  I didn't try this on Linux Mint).
