Derek,
I have win32lib v0.58.00 02/Jan/2003 and when I click start,
with task manager I see that with every frame drawn, GDI object
usage raises by 2. This can lead to lack of resources soon under
Win9x.

[code snipped]

Your code is fine and it works well with v0.58.x win32lib. There were some
resource bugs that I've fixed up now. Can I use this as a demo for the
library? I'll be posting the next win32lib update this weekend after I
squash a font bug.
