There are symbols ScreenPrimary and ScreenSecondary in V2, *BUT* ... Some
code which used them directly (non-DPMI) won't work.  Code which passed them
to dosmem() routines should continue to work.  In V2 they are
define strings to the go32 info block structure; so you may have to add
a #include <go32.h> for compiling.  We discussed this and felt this
would help flag migration problems.
