Internet mail delivery is not instant: I'm replying to the

I think you must be somehow running a wrong version there: I just
checked downloading a new zip from talula.demon.co.uk, and it most
certainly is 2.15 (as confirmed in the about box and help page).

So the pattern is that whenever you put in somewhere where it
will be finding this 43 line config file, and run it in DOS
mode, it crashes. I'm fairly sure that this is not a specific
fault to FED: if you want to investigate, you could try making
some standalone test programs that set a 43 line screen mode
and see whether these work ok. Also if you grab the conio.c
from djgpp libc sources, you can include that when building
FED to get proper debug information for it, so that symify would
show more details about exactly where it is dying.
