For anybody who's interested, I was able to make lynx 2.7 under DOS.
What you need to do is get lyxn 2.7, and djgpp.zip from:
www.fdisk.com/doslynx/
and download them and unzip them. In lynx2-7/www/library/impelmen/commonma
change /.created to /created
change back to lynx2-7 and run the djgpp.bat. Oh, before you do that,
you'll need bash and ln, and you'll need to make a symbolic link to bash,
called sh, and you may need to alter the makefile to tell it where sh
lives, but that is in commonma as well, I think.
Now on to my question.
I want to make curses use BIOS writes instead of directvideo. There is a
variable in the struuct SCREEN direct_video, and an extern SCREEN
_cursvar;. All BIOS should require to work is something like:
_cursvar.direct_video = FALSE;
but when I do that, no matter what file I put it in, lycurses.c,
lymain.c, etc., i get "parse error before '.'"
If I just try direct_video = FALSE;
I get complaints at linktime about multiple definitions of direct_video.
