two questions really:

1) A friend recently downloaded DJGPP and found that when it was used to
compile a program (which I had compiled fine on my comp without changing any
settings) that it would compile with "no errors" but when the program runs
the computer would hang with a plain black screen.  This also happened for a
simple "hello world" type program. Anyone encountered this?

2) Second I have download DJMoria5.5.2 but I cant get it to compile.  I have
followed the readme (defines and undefines / edit curses.h / include
libcurso.a / force unsigned characters) but there are still three unresolved
references (there were no header files supplied either)

these refs are to

'ansi' an extern int

'ansi_prep' an extern function

and 'set_large' another extern function

anyone managed to get this to compile?

any help muchly appreciated,
