Hello All,
        I'm porting a tui to the os/2 platform, and figgured while doing
so, I'd make some improvements... Here is what I would like to add.
I would like to add support for writting to a window that is overlaped by
another window (background window)... So far the only way I can think of
doing that is to have a chunk of memory the size of the window, update it
all at every window write request, and then when writting to the actual
screen I'll have to check every other window shown to see if it overlaps
it... Please tell me there's a better way. Or if there isn't , and I'm on
the right track ? Close ? Any suggestions anyone might have will be
appreciated, Thanks.
                Paul Rider.
