The result depends on the hardware/software that you have installed. In some
cases all is ok in others no.
Tip 1: Use a monochrome monitor/card to debug (Hercules).
Tip 2: Try to avoid the Allegro's mouse. If you really need to debug never turn
on the mouse because it can hang RHIDE. (no idea why).

Normally you won't have problems, at least not if you have the correct W95
drivers, in general the ones provided by M$ are old and buggy.
Ever run in full screen, some drivers goes crazy if you try to put a SVGA mode
in a Window.
