Guys,
Mind if we change the Subject on this one, for example to what I did here? I try to group topics and this would help.
Thanks, jim

Morning Dilwyn,
(ok, afternoon, but I slept late today !)
Bbeen there and got shafted by the software when I tried to create a 3D lookYou can only have 32 info windows. Some of the menus in Launchpad suffer because of this, I was using narrow windows as shadows and boxes and kept running out of info windows, so gave up on most of them.
for that old calculator program of yours, many many many years ago. (I was
still in my house on Newmachar near Aberdeen at the time). If I remember
correctly, 32 is the maximum limit on info windows because the IWs are
numbers in one of the calls in the PE code, by BIT number in a 32 bit
register. I can't remember the call itself, but it's the one that redraws a
number of IWs and passes a Data register holding a bit set for each window
that has to be redrawn.
I think it unlikely (!) that an upgrade to the EasyPtr stuff will make that
problem go away as it is a problem in the underlying code in the PE/WMAN
drivers.
Now, I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong ......... :o)
Cheers, Norman. (Counting down until Friday .....)
