I have been writing a GEM windowing application and I wondered if quickst
would speed up my application.  I downloaded versions 1.2 (Accessory) and
1.46 (auto prg).  I was really impressed with the speed-up that both
versions achieved!  Unfortunately, I also witnessed a little strange
behavior during redraws as follows:


SYSTEM: ATARI 1040STF with ROM TOS 1.0
ACTION: resize (shrink) window on top of another window

Normal Gem (or quickst v1.2 ACC with GEM speedup turned OFF):
	No problems, bottom window redrawn properly.

Quickst v1.2 ACC with GEM speedup turned ON:
	The bottom window is properly redrawn, except in the case where
	the bottom window's information bar is uncovered before and
	after the resize.  In this case the bottom line of the
	information bar is deleted in the area under which the
	second window used to be.

Quickst v1.46 Auto Prg:
	The bottom window is not properly redrawn.  Parts of the
	window are not redrawn, usually near the edge of the second
	window.  This also happens when moving a small top window over
	a larger bottom window: parts of the bottom window are not
	properly redrawn, near the edges of the top window.

(sorry for posting this report, but my attempts to mail to
Ig were unsuccessful, thank you for an overall great program!)
