- I don't know about the person you replied to, but I know I'd love to see
- this. I've been considering doing this with text mode(s) since Vio thunks
- take longer than I like and I was never very pleased with Vio performance
- anyways.
-
- Of special interest to me, is how you handle screen mode switching... (ie.
- when someone is in your program and hits Ctrl-ESC.) Are you using the
- VioSwitch (VioModeSwitch.. err whatever) functions?
