nanogui: Thread: Windows in Windows - debate

I was planning on doing a DirectDraw "window" of 640x480 (and maybe
320x240) and not letting it be resized but permitting it to switch to
"Full Screen" with a ResChange because the application I plan on running
will be for a simple embedded system and will only run at 640x480
anyway. I understand that this won't be as adaptive as a multimode
driver for resolutions but I have, at this stage, to develop to my needs
because of time constraints (first public beta by 20000101). And yes, I
am viewing this from a very selfish attitude at the moment, sorry all,
but when I can get some of my other developers writing (or porting some
of our pre-written DOS) applications (via Nano) to win32 using "real c"
(i.e. not MFC) I can possibly donate more developers for user space code
as apposed to the two I can only offer for graphics-kernel code at the
moment. sorry again.

I didn't make the deadline because The Millennium Bug Ate My Computer ;)

I didn't make the deadline because I was so hung over I couldn't get my
keys in the lock of the office door more like ;) (or I was organising my
own wedding, a common excu^H^H^H^H reason for missing deadline at the
moment "Sorry I missed a deadline Mr. Rimron, I was organising your
wedding" as heard by one from my coding team last week)

	Sounds good, but how the heck are you going to get any coding
done with a wife?  ;-)

"Many a true word spoken in jest" - My housemate Frank, last Tuesday
                                                               ;-)
I once knew a bloke, Matt Gumbley I think his name was, very active
coder, great bloke, got married, not heard of since(well, atleast much,
heck, may even be listening on this list, used to be the authority for
Linux on the Psion3 so definitly on the ELKS list)

I know full well my wife will do the same to me, but my advantage is
that coding is also my job and my company and therefore I get paid
nine-to-five-thirty to play. And she's a nice wife. And wants to learn
to code (*snigger*) so I may give Nano device drivers for ttyS-LCD
panels we use on some older EPOS system here at work.
