You can’t.
There will be some form of support for this in the upcoming SDL 1.3 API.

Actually, you can on certain OSes… But the code is not SDL-specific, and is no
longer portable (necessarily).

For example, under POSIX environments (such as Linux), I have an example about
how to make a multi-windowed SDL app:

(look at the first demo)

Note that all this uses is simple POSIX IPC, and will only work if you fork
before init’ing the SDL library. (Which is why it really has nothing to do with
SDL, since you can essentially do this with almost any standard C lib).On Sun, 24 Jun 2001, you wrote:
