Could be, I hadn't thought of that.  OTOH, even the 16-bit version I'm 
using now seems to take an inordinate amount of memory.  I can't always get 
a third DV window up without DV swapping to disk.

Most of my message bases are set to a 250 message barrier.  The only ones 
to exceed that now are netmail, about 1600, and personal, about 1950, but 
those were probably smaller back then.

Hmmm, might try to find a copy.  ANSI14J allows you to switch keyboard 
remapping off.  Horst Schaeffer suggested patching ANSI so that the kb call 
was non-standard, but I nver did quite understand what he meant  ;-)

I imagine that ANSI bombers have gone to the Internet for point-and-click 
virus kits  :-(

 TP> I only rarely load an ANSI driver for anything, these days. When I do

Me too neither, especially when lots of other "coloured echo" programs 
exist.

     Regards,

              Robert.
