Has anyone else run into this?:
On an AT&T 6300 (DOS 2.1), I have a C program which printf's:
<esc>[7mTextMessage<esc>[0m<cr><lf>
What happens is that the message is printed in reverse video, and then the
screen from the start of the next line to the end of the screen is reversed.
The next command prompt, and all subsequent text, is in normal video mode,
but as long as it's not overwritten the reversed area remains, scrolling up.
Is this a known Phoenix BIOS bug? The program works just fine on a Compaq.
