Or buy Think C and check out the Think Class Library which almost completely
implements it.   'Almost completely?' I hear you ask.  

Has anyone solved the problem of unhiliting floating windows (and non-floating
windows behind them) when pulling up dialogs.  (Try Page Setup in Think's Art
Class application and check the scroll bars!!)  So far my only solution relies
on watching activate events closely and ensuring that they get faked for the 
windows behind them which can get confusing when the system starts generating
de/activates of its own for your non-floaters..
