sigh.. updated again :) i should perhaps be a little nicer about game devs that ship buggy games.. then again we don't get paid for bbs stuff ;)

sorry for wasting your time.. though it was definitely helpful to me.

it's 0 based.. which i didn't account for. fixed that. apparently it's not a good idea to develop targeting NetFossil because it's *extremely* lenient (fossil init seems to never fail there either.. i'll be booting my os/2 vm for stuff like that now)

 AK> The .CFG file has 3 fonts listed but only one font file is in the

 AK> it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

sorry, yeah it's just an example. either the link in the config file, or the windows syncterm package should include a bunch more fonts. wasn't really sure about just nicking the whole set.
    
 AK> Are the font #s in SyncTerm 0-based or 1-based?  When I look through the
 AK> font list in SyncTerm I count 43.  Should the first font listed in the
 AK> .CFG file be 43 or 44?

zero. the first non-default one would be 43.
 
 AK> When I run "ST16 1" (or "ST16 0") it doesn't output anything on the
 AK> console.  Just errorlevel 1.

thanks for your patience. hopefully it's all set now.
