Hi!

Is it possible to create two windows with SDL in one program,
(I do not want to use forking)?

When trying to do this I only get one window._________________________________________________________________

Is there a simple way to handle multiple windows in SDL-1.2.5?
Is there way to employ a different window manager use the surface
created by SDL, and if that is the case can I create multiple surfaces
by SDL_SetVideoMode?
If not how can I change the SDL source code to enable multiple window
support? I mean where should I start?–

but i think multi window support is planned for sdl 2.0> ----- Original Message -----
