Regarding the one below: is it a good idea to add code to the exit code 
that switches the display to mode 3 (after v2.03 is released)?

Do other DOS compilers do that?

One consideration against this is that someone might write a program to 
switch the display into some special mode and expect it to stick.

Hello everyone,
	how are u? fine?? good! :)
		
	well... regarding my previous problem (exit() causes
my prog to freeze..) here is the last comment!

	i have discovered that the program does NOT freeze!
the program has actually finished! but screen did not
return to text mode!! i became sure of this, as, after
the program freezed, i just typed 'exit' and i simply
returned back to windows!
	This simply means that exit() does NOT always return
back to text mode by itself! i HAVE to put the
following line:
	screen.settext();
before ANY call to exit!!

	is this considered a bug in exit()??? or this is
normal??

Thank you,
Urs forever,
	Mohamed El Dawy

P.S. I am not using any libraries! I am using gcc
2.8.0! the program is running in 640*480*65k colors
vesa2 using Scitech display doctor under win98!

P.P.S. NO! in case u think that i have unintentionaly
registered a function using atexit() that sets the
mode back to grx mode, you are wrong! i didn't!! :)
