- It's been suggested that I draw every 3d frame onto a memory
- bitmap, then blt that to screen when it is complete. However, under
- OS/2 PM I can't do page flipping (I only control the applicaion's
- window). I also want to be able to use the GPI primitive functions,
- such as the polygon draws and fills. This would save me a lot of
- effort, as well as taking advantage of graphics accelerators. Is
- there an equivalent to page flipping that works well with a GUI?
