Subject:       Access to the TEXT video buffer UNDER WINDOWS
Reply-To: p DOT waltenberg AT irl DOT cri DOT nz

O.K. I know that I can access the text screen memory
by using the ScreenPrimary[] address when running under DOS.

What I'd like to know is:
1) Is there video buffer that I can access directly under Windows
(obviously it's not the screen, but I remember DesqView supported
a method of getting the virtual window address).
2) How is it done
3) Is there a  'nice' way of determining that I AM running
under windows.

I CAN if necessary use bios calls but Windows is slow enough
now.

Thanks
