Quickdraw does everything with regions. Can someone tell what MS Windows
does instead? Disply Postscript on the NeXT has the clipping path, but
curiously updates (on non-retained) windows are reported as rectangles.

I guess Microsoft didn't have a genious available when they implemented
their graphics routines. Apple had/has Bill Atkinson and Adobe has many
really good graphics experts. (I put that "had" there, since I don't think
Mr. Atkinson is working on QuickDraw.)
