Hi there. A couple of days ago I ftp'ed the latest Bob Ainsbury
effort, the Technojock's Object Toolkit, for TP5.5/6.0. It looks
pretty good, except that is has problems under DesqView/386. If you
resize a window, the area underneath it is garbage, and if you try and
move the window, the whole system crashes (Big Red Switch time). This
is quite a feat under DV/386!

I tried upping the protection level of the DV Window - and the demo
program TOTDEMO seems to want to write to some pretty weird places
(where it shouldn't be looking). I know from the Fido echo ZONE3_TECH
that this problem has been discovered elsewhere - has anyone else had
the problem, and possibly fixed it? I will have to try and track down
the error.

Another good idea might be to get TOT to write to the DV video buffer
if it is running under DV - although this is just a nicety.

I am also mailing Bob Ainsbury at his compuserve address, but I
imagine that this must be a known problem by now. Didn't ANY of the
beta testers run DesqView?
