 I'm using Miro VRX rendition card and have no problem with this - not
that I can really see why you would want to anyway.

In order for the video card to do it's 3d thing in DOS, it must be
directly controlled by the software.  Therefore Win95 has to give up
its control of the video.  Since Win95 can't control the video output,
you can't Alt-Tab back to Win95.

when I'm setting up cars for fastlap I like to make notes (text files)
about braking points and shifting points, etc.  That's why I want to
alt-tab out.  It's easier than restarting all the time.
