I testing a program under Windows XP [ver 5.1.2600] which was compiled 
with DJGPP and mingw32.

The body of the test program is:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
     puts("\033[2J");
     return 0;
}

When run from a cmd window, the DJGPP version clears the screen, whereas 
the windows console version not.

I looked for this information in the FAQ and could not find anything about.

My theory is that in some way, the runtime for DJGPP manages to create a 
more 'DOS' environment (calling command.com which will load ANSI.NT).

Am I correct?

TIA
