   I have never tried it under DOS.  SLang works fine under DOS though.
Since I do not have the facilities/libraries that you have, I cannot check
it under DOS.  However, I will be more than happy to work with you on it if
you can tell me where it is hanging.

   The version of SLang that is shipped with most includes a replacement for
ncurses that should work with BCC/GCC.  Eventually I will have most use
those routines since they perform direct screen writing and do not require
ansi.sys, termcap, etc....   I intend to add color syntax highlighting of C
files to the pager.

Thanks,
