Sorry, I left out one resolved bug report from the list. 4) The fclose in get_data fixed a problem with multiple reads of the same data file in a single session. Microsoft C was never closing the thing, but reopening it each time, eventually failing when it ran out of file descriptors. Some people may want to default cont to TRUE if compiling without /DPC to retain the previous behavior. I want to call attention to the fact that my changes introduce an incompatability between the /DPC switch and all others. In other words, msc /DPC /DTEK will result in TEK support with a broken continuous switch (always on). The only simple way to change this is to move the #ifndef PC... getchar stuff into each non-PC TERM_text unconditionally. I did not bother because a single PC version supporting both console and terminal operations under MS-DOS seemed only marginally useful. To the authors: this is a very useful program, and a fine job. Please consider this and my previous posting "official" bug reports, preempting all other communications. Thanks.
