Re: DOS box creepers and Tame



Robert,
Would it be possible to make the beta version available for the members of our list? So, the program could be "adequately tested"... At present, the beta version has disappeared from TAME site.

Look, I spoke with David this AM. Because I coincidentally identified the
source of an unrelated bug that had been troubling him for some time, he says
he "owes" me. (Always nice to be owed.) He says that he didn't include the
code for the "special version" that he sent me in the public release because it
wasn't "adequately tested". (Indeed, he had warned me that there would either
be a dramatic improvement, or my DOS box would crash -- I've not seen the
latter yet, and I've been running all sorts of DOS stuff for a month with this
"special version".) He's got some administrative stuff to do, and then he says
that "this will be at or near the top of the list". What I've been proposing
to him is that he simply force a screen refresh after every char is put, and I
think that's where we're headed. It would do the trick.
