Window Mode without custom text

Is there a way we can take Paul's ddraw file and convert the text displays from what he wrote to the originals? I want to make some legitimate speedruns but SDA probably won't accept runs with the modified screen text with Paul's. Could someone send me a modified ddraw with the original scrolling text and windowed mode?

If they won't accept because of that then you probably shouldn't use the DLL. Changing the text won't affect the games timings. However it does change some other stuff that could change the games timing, i.e it changes the default renderer, it re-inits the random seed, patches level paths and some other bits since its designed to run mods (eventually).

It looks like I will have to do runs using DXwind then.

Update: DXWind doesn't work. It puts the game in full screen but it won't let me operate the timer. So Paul, I need a DLL please without your scrolling text. It doesn't affect the games time but I need to make the run legitmate for SDA so I can stream as well. I can't stream Abe's Oddysee unless you come up with a solution.
