Hi,
I have an offscreen bitmap of size about 300*500.  At an update event, this
whole stuff needs to be dumped on screen.
This seems easy--one CopyBits call does the trick.
But then I read in IM that is is considered to be bad practice to copy large
bitmaps (>3K), because they use up stack space as large as the bitmap.

The question is: is this still true in the following case:
no overlap between source and destination, no reduction, no mask region.

It would save me a lot of dirty code if I could still do it with a single call.
Help, anyone?
