I've been a reasonably happy user of dvimswin version 2.4, for
MicroSoft Windows for a couple of years, but it's showing it's age, and
sometimes does strange things, like losing all it's characters, especially
if there are two copies running.

I cannot (easily) locate the author, who used to be:
Doug McDonald (mcdonald@aries.cso.uiuc.edu   aries is 128.174.90.55)

But isn't any more. Any hints appreciated. Unfortunately, while dvivga
is available as source code, dvimswin does not seem to be (not that it
would do me much good, as I have no Windows programming experience,
and am not about to start right now, but I suspect that recompiling it
with the Windows 3.1 libraries might go a long way towards fixing it).
