Unfortunately DJGPP doesn't seem to have a similar set of functions. I'm only using them very simply, the program has an IRC-alike interface so I created a main window for most of the data, and a secondary window at the bottom of the screen where input keystrokes get echoed. Can somebody suggest a suitable alternative? Many thanks, gossamer [1] If you really want to know, email me, it's marginally humerous :) -- : Bek Oberin - gossamer AT glasswings DOT com DOT au /~/\ : http://glasswings.com.au/gossamer/ / /\ \ <-- Blue : Freedom?
