Morning Dilwyn,

(ok, afternoon, but I slept late today !)

Bbeen there and got shafted by the software when I tried to create a 3D look
for that old calculator program of yours, many many many years ago. (I was
still in my house on Newmachar near Aberdeen at the time). If I remember
correctly, 32 is the maximum limit on info windows because the IWs are
numbers in one of the calls in the PE code, by BIT number in a 32 bit
register. I can't remember the call itself, but it's the one that redraws a
number of IWs and passes a Data register holding a bit set for each window
that has to be redrawn.

I think it unlikely (!) that an upgrade to the EasyPtr stuff will make that
problem go away as it is a problem in the underlying code in the PE/WMAN
drivers.

Now, I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong ......... :o)


Cheers,
Norman. (Counting down until Friday .....)
