Hi all

I have just noticed a really weird bug with Allegro and Win95. I wonder who is
to blame ? (probably Microsoft...)  I have a simulation of ants, which runs
fine in 320x200 in the background under Win95. If I use 640x400 or 640x480
(SVGA resolutions), the program works fine _except_ that it "freezes" in
background mode.

If I Alt-Tab back to Win95 and return minutes or hours later to my sim., it is
in the same state as before I Alt-Tab'ed. Why should higher screen resolutions
make Win95 not time-slice properly ?

(Incidentally, I cannot run SVGA in a window, it must be full screen. But
that's to be expected...)

Any ideas ?
Adios
Mark Wodrich.
