exswitch - Controlling the console switch mode for background running. Allegro game programming library.

Description

       This program shows how to control the console switching mode, and let your program run in the background.
       These  functions  don't  apply  to every platform and driver, for example you can't control the switching
       mode from a DOS program.

       Yes, I know the fractal drawing is very slow: that's the point!  This is so you can easily check  whether
       it goes on working in the background after you switch away from the app.

       Depending  on  the  type  of selected switching mode, you will see whether the contents of the screen are
       preserved or not.
