A86: TextShadowing and other Questions




I have seen _TextShadow in many games and i have heard lots of people talk
about it... could someone please tell me what it is and does.  Also I know
that this is a general question, but what are the disadvantages/advantages
for not allowing interupts in a program: di.  Thanks
