I will test it on vbox tomorrow and, if necessary, inform the programmer today, it is 12pm 24 here. Btw, did you check fdtui? Does it really make sense to keep it? Referring to localcfg, although it supports not all options at once, I found out that it is usable if you split the options and execute it twice, e.g. loclconfig country1.sys /option 1 till 5 and then localcfg country1.sys /option 6 till 10. It seems to add both settings. Wish you a good night. Willi -- Diese Nachricht wurde von meinem Android Mobiltelefon mit mail.com Mail gesendet.

I've just tried running it with different configs:
1. without ctmouse loaded (this is my default)
2. with ctmouse loaded
3. with cwsdpmi loaded, no mouse
4. with cwsdpmi loaded, with mouse
I get the same behavior in each: the game plays fine, until I use 'q'
to quit. Then it just hangs.
*I'll add that it didn't occur to me that you could use a mouse to
play this game. The columns on the board are numbered, so it made
sense to just type the number of the column where I wanted to drop a
piece.
