It has come to my attention that a program that I've made in and for dos
is being used in Win95. <shrug> I suppose that this shouldn't suprise me,
and for the most part I don't care. I have absolutely no ambitions to 
make it win native in ANY way.

However, there have been confirmed allegations that my program fails to
correctly redraw the screen when it is placed in the background and then
brought to the foreground again.

Is there any way for me to detect this? Does win95 raise any kind of
"refresh" signal that I can detect? I don't really want to do a
"video-memory" sanity poll; that would really suck.

Peace
