Activating a dummy .bat file (that does nothing), to switch to full-screen-mode and back again does not fix up the messed up screen after returning from TDW on my system (33MHz 386 with 8MB memory, Genoa super VGA 800 x 600, 16 color mode). I suppose the screen repainting procedure does not work either on my system then. (Else it would have been nice if it also had been posted, coded in Turbo-Pascal. Many TPW-users including myself do not have a C-compiler and are not too familiar with C). Anyone else got this working on a similar configuration? -- Oivind Toien Div. of General Physiology, Dept. of Biology, Univ. of Oslo P.O.
