Hi Oli,

On 2023-02-24 12:52:42, you wrote to me:

That's a pitty.

 Ol> https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_Guide#Text_mode_programs_.28CUI:
 Ol> _Console_User_Interface.29

It says the 'wine' method that uses bare streams doesn't have: "Good support
for full screen CUI applications (including but not limited to color support,
mouse support...)". That doesn't sound good for running FConfig in this way...


Bye, Wilfred.
