Richard Gellman,
I have no problem with dropping of GDI support, will it still be possible to
switch to windows (Alt Tab) while the emulator is running, I should think so
in which case no problem.

To get off the subject a bit, are you aware of the emulator corrupting disk
images ?
If you load a image (.ssd) in BBC model B mode & then switch to BBC Master
128 a couple of times the 1st sector gets over written with the following
text :-
Vertical Total Adjust: 2
V Sync width: 2
Screen now at &2800
Screen now at &2800
ONE
Also if you are in BBC Master 128 mode and try to switch from DFS to ADFS
mode by holding 'A' and pressing break the emulator chrases with the
following error :-
BeebEm caused a divide error in module BeebEm.exe at 0167:4131EE

Roy Collett,
<reality>
I for one would like it to work on old systems (233Mhz Pentium running
Win98) as I can't afford the latest kit in this part of the world, so please
keep us in mind !!!

Reg. Peter.
