   Hi Oli,   
      
   On 2023-02-24 16:31:22, I wrote to you:

   In the real windows everything seems to work fine. The Alt- key presses   
   now work as they should, they were actually broken in the old code and behaved   
   as if you pressed the key without the Alt key. As a result I even discovered a   
   little easter egg. ;-) (When you press and hold Alt, and press the a, b, o, u   
   and t keys in sequence you get an information window with the compile date of   
   the program.) This only works in the new Beta (link below).   
      
   In wine the results are poor, to very poor:   
      
      
   With wine-1.8.6:   
      
   wineconsole --backend=user FConfigW32.exe   
     Not everything is visible but it seems to respond correctly to all keys, but   
   since the screen is mostly not updated you don't see everything you do.   
      
   wineconsole --backend=curses FConfigW32.exe   
     I don't have the right font, and or terminal settings, because line drawing   
   characters aren't showing right. For the rest the results are similar to the   
   above.   
      
   wine FConfigW32.exe   
     Only the text from the copyright header is just printed to the next line in   
   regular terminal colors. Other then that nothing is on screen, and you can't   
   do anything except pressing Ctrl-c to put it out of it's misery.   
      
      
   With wine-7.0:   
      
   wineconsole --backend=user FConfigW32.exe   
     This looks perfectly ok when started. But not everything is redrawn as it   
   should as a response to key presses. So nothing seems to happen, on some key   
   presses, but that's only optical. When you go into a submenu, you get the   
   right one.   
      
   wine FConfigW32.exe   
     The screen looks the same as with wineconsole 1.8.6 and --backen=curses. But   
   there is no response to key presses, instead you see the ansi sequences   
   printed on screen.   
      
      
   In conclusion, some of the above is usable in case of emergency and you know   
   your way around, but for everyday use it isn't. But I'm keeping the new key   
   code, it works better in windows and in wine...   
      
   If any one wants to try it:

   Bye, Wilfred.
