I just tried to use Burndev v.31, but found it works ONLY with text-mode
applications.  With my Multi-sync (still connected to my EGA until I get a
VGA card) the screen turns to multi-colored garbage with Ventura Publisher.  
Also, burndev doesn't respond to mouse actions.

With Excel and terun-time version of Windows, it's about the same.
