Thanks, that is helpful. And I don't see much room for improvement in the "clear" port, it could not be simpler. Banner is not among my needs right now, so I did not DL it. You should definitely contribute "clear" to the DJGPP v2gnu collection. However, I do need ANSI.SYS (or the TSR NNANSI.COM) if I want my application bash scripts to be able to use color highlighting and column specification. They *can* run without ANSI highlighting, but it is much less helpful to the end-user. Unfortunately, I found a more serious problem. This project also involves using some non-GNU executables compiled under Cygwin, and when those try to run under DJGPP bash (even after adjusting the PATH to include the Cygwin binary directories behind the DJGPP one) I got some serious Cygwin library errors (something about "stdio_init" not being able to (re?)assign an input FD, so the program could not access its control file data. I didn't save the messages, sorry. I have had to give up on using DJGPP for now due to these errors, I am sorry to say. Recompiling the non-GNU executables under DJGPP GCC is not currently an option for this project. Regards, Peter
