- I think there are some nice routines in newer Win32
- implementations (NT 3.5x and Windows 95) which should make it pretty fast
- to copy the Executor bitmaps to the screen. WinG might be one way, and
- I'm sure there's another API in NT 3.5 which does the same thing.

- Depending on how difficult the port away from gcc would be, you
- might want to consider working on this port even before 2.0 comes out and
- possibly even largely replace the DOS release with it since it would not
- have as many memory management problems. (Especially if it can support
- Win32s, Windows 95, and NT 3.5 - this would allow it to be used on a large
- number of current machines.)
