	I use Borland C++ 3.1, plain C (but not OWL) and they work fine.
	(Windows 3.1).  They were real easy to implement.

	I do have one small problem
	with truncation of a string in a MessageBox.  The string has
	embedded \n to make a 10-15 line display, but it truncates at
	about 10 lines (perhaps 512 characters?).  It works fine without
	ctl3d.  I'm not sure how colour changes affect the string, though.
