Hi Nicholas,

On 2017-08-04 13:05:54, you wrote to me:

Or maybe just leave out the -mtune option. That should work too I think.

You seemed to have done fine, in such a short time span! ;)

If it were that simple! ... ;)

The problem is mostly in the conio library, which is dos/windows specific, for 
doing the text user interface. I want to replace that with ncurses, but that 
will take some figuring out. And I fear they are wildly different, so it 
wouldn't be a case of just replacing library calls...2

Bye, Wilfred.
