Sorry. I think I have to fix this bug in the next version. I do not want to steal the time of the other engine. It is just a result of the novelty of my engine and the lack of my Windows knowledge. The Problem is I have to decide to fix the version 1.02 or 1.03 which is still under construction. Every 'improvement' makes the new version a little bit weaker and I plan to release a 'better' version than 1.02. :-( Harald
