The part that is buggy at this stage is the graphics and/or memory 
management.  ALl of the input drivers work fine, and you are in luck, 
because the keyboard works the best (it also has Getch and Kbhit 
resonable face-similies, in case I didn't mention it b4), followed by 
the joystick, and then the mouse (because of the graphics involved with 
it).  Before it was not so buggy but ever since I tried writing my own 
grames with it, I've found one strange bug after another...  I've tried 
to remedy these problems with the help of the nice people on this 
newsgroup, but to no avail.. :-(
