Multiple screen support for Windows

1
Does anyone know if and when there is planned multiple-monitor support for
Windows (I haven't gone over yet; just thinking about the future). In all the
work I do, use of multiple monitors is pretty central.

thanks, Geoff

Dear Allen,

We could really, really use multiple monitor support for the Psychophysics
toolbox under windows. We would like to display double-size images spread
across two screens, that we could treat logically as a single window. But
it would suffice to have access to each screen separately.

Best,
Ben
