Yes, as a ex Telegard Sysop who used BNU, I can say just run the EXE file
and turn off the "fast ansi"....

BNU Release 5?  The release version is BNU 1.70.  Subsequent beta
releases had an 'opening screen' that could not be supressed with
-M.  If you aren't using BNU 1.70, I'd suggest getting it.  There
are bugs in most of the beta versions (which is a natural part
of the software's evolution).

Definitely use the .EXE version of BNU (not only will it probably solve
this problem, but you'll have more control over your port(s) and buffers).

Also, turn off "fast ansi" -- I seriously doubt you'll notice a difference
in output speed (get out your stopwatch and try it *grin*), and using F-
will force BNU to check with BIOS for screen writes, instead of just
assuming it's okeigh to write whatever it wants wherever it wants whenever
it wants however it wants...

Sorry, you're both wrong. FOSSIL (Fido/Opus/SeaDog Standard Interface Layer)
is revision 5, and BNU (some long Norwegien or Swedish name starting with B,
Nugent, Unique -- for the author, Dave Nugent, and the company, Unique
Computing) is version 1.70.

RELEASE != VERSION != REVISION in this case. (!= means "does not equal" for
those of you who don't know any C.)
