Is there a way to stop the window 'flicker'? The only way to stop that is to ditch XP and downgrade to Widnows 9x. The problem is that Windows XP (and all other descendants of the Windows NT family) switch the emulated console to the standard DOS dimensions as soon as they detect a DOS program that accesses the video memory directly. The DJGPP ports of Less and `ls' do that, so you get punished by M$ for running DOS programs.
