It certainly does direct screen writes (the B800 address       is in the code). But there are also lots of geninterupt() calls. Neither of       which I have experience with (at least I can't remember anything about it.       )). So I haven't got a clue about what it's doing, besides the sparse       comments in the code.               SL> both of which should be portable to a Win32 console without too much        SL> trouble              Maybe, if I knew how (do you mean using the conio.h family of functions?) and       it wouldn't be too much work I might be tempted. But I rather spend my time on       a more portable solution. My ultimate goal is still: building a linux version       of fmail! ;)              Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail/Win32 1.64.GPL        * Origin: Amiga Offline BBS Lisse (2:280/464)    |
