Multiple Screens Mod possible?

Many already know Windows has no trouble working with multiple graphics cards and monitors.

PCI bus slots can be addressed seperately. Several times I have setup my comp just toying around with as many as 4 monitors and watched the screensaver animation toy with all of the monitors like they were one monitor.

A few rare games were actually developed with two and three monitors in mind. Mostly to sell dual monitor graphics cards.

Is there a way to set up BZ2 with multiple views for multiple screens? Has anyone in 1.3 toyed with such a thing?

in a word nope, BZ2 is a directX 6 game and as far as I'm aware multiple monitors weren't really supported back then, compounding this is the fact that BZ2 graphics code as I understand it is an unholy mess that no-one dares touch .

Even multiple monitors now is difficult in 9.0 because you have to create multiple render points and viewchains and such, a big hassle.

hmm nuts,,,,maybe this is something to look forward to in the next generation of computers.

Currently the AMD dual core processors are pretty impressive.
