This was one of the projects I was referring to. Once again I took out
all the Unix stuff and it ran, but looked terrible. A real problem to
me though is that the Windows console is so small and AFAIK you can't
make it bigger. I quite often use an SSH window onto a Linux machine
because of that.

I'm really thinking of making something resizeable, perhaps graphical,
that looks to apps like it's curses. It would work a bit like SSH or
possibly use grpahics in SDL so it's portable.

Anyway, it's all in the air right now considering how many projects I
am busy with!
