[Jason Peter Sage] Hello Michael. "Does Not Work" means in this case that the source code compiles, but when I run it (It DOES RUN) I have a blinking cursor... that's it. Now this "test" was KDE xwindows, Fedora 5, I tried the non xwindow mode just because I was curious... no dice - same symptoms. I tried both shell and linux console varieties of the KDE "Terminal Window".

In the past I knew and expected character set difference, so I always wrote a "text only" mode that just used colors and simple thing like asterisks and pipe characters and dashes to make text gui windows etc.. no dice.

This is a known problem, and will be fixed in 2.0.4
