Important TWIN update! We now have working win16 cursors.
TWIN now stores a pointer to a GDI object in the 16 bit LDT selector for certain types of objects (Cursors and Icons for now) so a 16bit app can directly change the pixel data of a cursor by treating a HCURSOR as a HGLOBAL, thereby restoring pbrush.exe to its former glory.
modulo the xor cursors, because X can't do that. I'm debating software cursors.
Linux can now run pbrush.exe better than NT based #windows
