I am writing a program in which it would be nice for more than one task
be able to paint into the same window concurrently.  One of the tasks would
only need to perform blitter operations into the window and so would not
need to modify the rastport.  Are there any precautions or locks I need to
worry about?  I am posting this for my brother, so I would be greatful if
you could respond to rbw@spock.byu.edu.  Thanks a bunch.
