System 6.0 and later have a system call known as a 'whooshing rectangle.' Basically, whenever you open a program, control panel, or a bunch of other cases, these little rectangles fly over your screen, showing that the GS can't do realtime scaling/morphing of the windows :) I think that that's kind of annoying, and a bit of fluff that slows down my system, so I wrote a program to kill the whooshes, and any sound affects associated with them. The result is the KillDaWhoosh Control Panel that gets rid of them, unless programmers either write their own whoosh routines, or call them directly (Bad style in either case; you lamers know who you are)... KillDaWhoosh 1.0 is freeware. Have fun with it. It includes a rProgramInfo resource for anyone who might want to support it, which is hopefully correct. Nathan Mates 6/28/94
