Hi folks;
This new app that we have here at work does something which I thought was
forbidden for a win32 app. While it spends ten or so min synching with a
server it throws up several dialog boxes. You can't put these in the
background to continue working in another app. Rather RUDE of the developer,
IMHO as it defeats the whole idea of a multi-tasking environment.(?)

I just thought that declaring anything as 'System Modal' went out with
windows 3.1 .
