But I am running Windows 2000 and there seems to be problem when an ncurses-enabled application tries to switch the terminal mode of my DOS screen.The curses part doesn't run at all - I get a General Protection Fault. The only terminal mode that runs the text-based tests readably is 'dumb'. First off all, I don't have any kind of a terminal driver like 'ansi.sys' loaded. I have heard that ansi.sys doesn't run under NT at all. But somehow, the terminal strings need to be made recognizable to the command environment. My qustion is, is there perhaps a DJGPP software terminal interpreter/TSR/library/etc that could also maybe run under Windows2000 (as the problem could very well be that ncurses tries to manipulte the terminal directly, and NT doesn't understand it).
