I have seen some complaints about Waffle doing screwy things to the screen
when you are in 43 or 50 line mode. After some fiddling with Turbo Debugger, I
have figured it out. If this has been done already, ignore this message and I
apologize for the wasted bandwitdh, however...

Tom is doing something I consider a no-no. Using CONIO and STDIO functions
BOTH for video in ONE program. This does not work properly in most
circumstances as the CONIO functions don't always know what the STDIO
functions are doing (this is my experience). Anyways, for those of you who
have purchase the source for Waffle, you can fix this VERY EASILY.

Load up DOS.H, and look for:

#define VSPRINT
#define CONIO

...comment out the  #define CONIO and recompile. When you do so, two things
will happen:
1) The screen will now go properly to the bottom of a 50 line display.
2) The reverse video will stop working.

(Tom, every consider fixing this?)

The reverse video stops working because Tom uses the Borland textattr function
to change the screen attribute on some cases, and without CONIO defined, the
textattr functions are redirected to no where.

If I may inject my personal opinion, some of the code for the DOS portion of
Waffle is rather shakey. I am surprised some of it works. Oh, unless I am
brain dead, no where in the docs does it say, add #define MSDOS to the
version.h header file to compile under DOS.

I'll be glad to finally switch to UNIX in the coming months....
