Finding myself the owner of two monitors now, I'm looking for things to
do with the spare one.  It seems to me that it should be easy to make a 
device driver (CON2 ?) which writes directly to the video memory of the
inactive display, so that one could have a program with one set of output
on the real display and another set (say, debugging info) redirected to
the alternate. Only the real CON device would read the keyboard.
A quick scan of the simtel directory didn't suggest anything obvious.  
Does anyone know of such a beast ?  If not I might try hacking on
nansi.sys.

Thanks.
