I had an interesting problem this weekend. If I have more than about 130 icons in opened groups in program manager, then pm will not redraw itself correctly. I have tried this with the video drivers supplied with my OPDII and the standard windows supplied VGA drivers. Does anyone else have this problem? Steps to create problem: 1) Create 7 groups in PM. I have 4 groups of 25 icons and 3 groups of about 10 icons. 2) Open all groups. 3) Make PM into an icon and then open it. Now, you should have the title bar of PM and frame, but nothing else. (Well it's more like it's invisible with the back- ground showing through.) If you iconify one of the groups then problem goes away. Here's my system: DTK 386-25 4Mb 64K cache Orchid ProDesigner II NEC 3D QEMM 5.11 (for EMM) DOS 3.3 WINDOWS 3.0 -- mark shattuck (mds@physics.phy.duke.edu)

With 123 icons on the screen there is a problem with 122 there is not. -- mark shattuck (mds@physics.phy.duke.edu)

Another problem that I ran into: you can only put a limited number of icons into a program group. This I find really frustrating, 'cause sometimes I have a need to put upto 300+ icons in a group (don't ask) and the only way I can do it is to create several groups numbered xx1, xx2, etc... Does anybody have solutions to the above 2 problems?
