I'm running 3DS in a DOS box under Win95, but I *am* using the SVGA
driver.  When I use Alt-Enter to make the full-screen into a window,
it says 'Windows cannot run this app in a window, use full screen'.
I just hit Alt-Enter again and it goes full screen again, with no
problem.  Small annoyance, and so far, it has not gotten in my way,
since I usually am doing on thing or the other (3DS modeling, or Yaroze
programming).

What *is* annoying, is that in a full-screen Win95 DOS box, the 3DS
mouse cursor is *super* sluggish.  When I boot to DOS, the mouse runs
fine.  Any ideas?
