of course.. you shouldn't call WinScreenUnlock() if the WinScreenLock()
operation failed :) logical? :) those API's are a nightmare to work with,
and,
quite frankly - they suck.

did you know every time you called WinScreenLock() and passed 'copy' as
the parameter - it would allocate a new window to store the current window?
so, instead of just updating a display pointer - there was an allocation
and copying involved.. bad bad bad.

but, what would you expect from a palm employee who didn't understand the
need for such API's from a gaming perspective? there are so many other
ways that API could be written - and, we would have never had the problems
we have had by using that API.
