Some senseless babbling from Jonathan De Boyne Pollard to David Noon

 JDBP> Actually, the more widely accepted terminology (i.e. everything other
 JDBP> than the IDE for Borland C++ for OS/2 (-:) is "Not Window
Compatible",
 JDBP> "Window Compatible", and "PM".

 JDBP> Or, alternatively, "FULLSCREEN",
"PMCOMPATIBLE", and "PM".

And like most widely accepted terminology, it appears to be used by no one 
:)

VACPP calls the types None (program determines itself what mode to run in), 
Window (VIO), PM, or Full Screen.
