SPECIFICATION

Boolean b;
FORTRAN subroutine backbu(b)

DESCRIPTION
backbuffer enables updating in the back bitplane buffer.
When the value of b is TRUE (1), the default, the back
buffer is enabled. When the value of b is FALSE (0), the
back buffer is not enabled. This routine is useful only in
double buffer mode, and is ignored in single buffer mode.
gconfig sets backbuffer to TRUE (1).
