You see, I'm trying to write a fast svga GUI for DJGPP which will be up as freeware
and also will take part in a game I'm writing.
   new_window creates a new window and adds its information to a linked list of
windows
the struct is..

     #define WINHANDLE       long
     typedef struct type_winnode {
        int Width,Height;               //Width and Height of Window(in Pixels)
        int X,Y;                        //X,Y Location;
        int active;                     //Active or Inactive State
        int depth;                      //Window Depth
        unsigned char *ViewPort;        //Windows Viewing Section

     }


The reason why new_window is just a regualar function pointer is because then it is
more general and will hopefully work with many different classes.

    Any suggestions to make it work without "castrationg" class functions? I was
thinking of makeing a global buffer and passing the private members of the desired
class in it to get around the need of using or passing  a class function to the GUI
interface (such as ne_window). That would just defete the purpous of  having
classes though, it could get really unorginized.
        Thanks,
                Ardy
