I have managed to load in a picture resource, draw it to a rectangle
on an off screen bit map (I assume I am getting it drawn) I looked at
the resource and it looks ok if I send it straight to the screen. So
What I did then is set up a destination rectangle on the main screen
and did a CopyBits to it with the following code:
	offScreenBitMap	: BitMap;
	srcRect	: Rect;
	dstRect : Rect;

CopyBits(offScreenBitMap,myWindow^.portBits,srcRect,dstRect,srcCopy,NIL);

and the garbage I get on the screen is incredible!! If I run the same
steps in a program that draws to the screen (no windows, menus etc.) it
works perfectly, why not on a window???

Question #2:
	Symantec advertises all the products that have been developed
with think pascal and think C well what did they use to develope their languages
in???
