Thanks, Fernando.

I'm sure that you overestimate my efforts. I'm not as busy as you think. It's
just that I'm too lazy for testing. So, I often release the thing and let people
test.

I'm sorry for the other thing which you mentioned. On some operating systems (I
suspect it's the NT family), there is this unpleasant effect. On win-95/98 I
never observed it.
I guess, it's in some way related to the DOS-extender and I can't do anything
about it.
