it might
explain one more of the problems... I might actually be running afoul of my
pop-up killer by trying to open two ie windows at once ... now wouldn't that
be a laugh!
Can anyone confirm if IE would be involved when playing midi, wmi, wave, and m
FP docs... This is why I was suggesting that maybe we (?)
should look into updating the windows unit... get it to match the SDK specs
and add in the new controls for 2k, xp and 03 while we're at it.

Yep... using the 32bit compiler on a true 32bit operating system with actual

27;t mind putting in the time and effort to go though this and correct the

problem you got in a couple of
spots is to confine your screen coordinates ... x,y : byte ... less chance of
fractional or out of range returns causing the plotting decisions to wobble.
(Text mode is decidedly low res, so use a low res numbering scheme to match
).

uff to work. I do understand the need for

DispatchMessage(oMsg);
