In my eyes it does. ;)

I think it does both. 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.

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.
