1. RE: put_screen_char() doesn't work with EX under Windows
Robert Craig once said:
This is a known bug.
The test in put_screen_char() should be:
if overflow > 0 then -- correct
not:
if overflow then -- wrong
Please correct your copy of image.e
It will be corrected this way in 2.3.
Not many people use this routine.

That's only because it doesn't work. I have wanted to use it before, but it
didn't work, so I couldn't use it.

Any dos eu program should work fine using ex.exe under windows.

Yeah, if it had put_screen_char, get_screen_char, display_text_image and
save_text_image. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't have these
routines if it uses a console.

And what about get_mouse? It works well in Linux, even in an xterm window,
so why can't it be done in windows? Surely it would be easy.
Well, Rob, how about it? (feedback would be appreciated)

CS:EE editor allows cut and paste to and from the windows clipboard
so why are you saying that you can't do it from your program ?

You can do that. I cut and paste from EE all the time. Just click on the
dotted box in the upper left corner of the box, and highlight what you want
to copy, then click the copy button (next to the dotted box). To paste into
a dosbox, you just click the paste button (next to the copy button). The
dos app thinks that the clipboard contents are being typed on the keyboard.
