Hi,

   I am preparing to install 1.11 on my system.  I want the application to
work in text mode in a Windows DOS box.  I intend to use the functions
described in libpc.doc:

   ScreenRows()
   ScreenCols()
   ScreenPutChar() 
   ScreenSetCursor() 
   ScreenClear()
   
In addition, I intend to use int86 to call BIOS int 10h to scroll the screen
as well as:

    int 21h, subfunction 19h to get the current drive
    
My question is simple:  Are these functions compatable with a Windows DOS
box?  What sorts of things should I stay away from?

Thanks,
--John
