That doesn't work at ARDI under Win3.1 either. I think Win3.1 doesn't
know how to save video state for SuperVGA video modes. Microsoft
seems to have fixed this in Win95.
One test you could try is "executor -bpp 1" and see if you can switch
back and forth in 1 bit graphics mode. That will just use an
old-style plain VGA mode that Win3.1 might know about.
I have added a "-vga" option for the next release of Executor that
will constrain Executor to only use old-style VGA modes. That will
limit you to 640x480 with 16 colors, but may let you do things like
hotkey back and forth under Win3.1.
