The set cons=1 only displays the prompt to enter a program name.
When you run a program all that displays is the console rectangle.
What was the last version before you made changes to be_w.c that worked.
The EUCONS code has been in for a while, and is present in 1212. I haven't touched this code at all recently nor do I know of any changes that would have broke it.
Hmm. I just tested 1260, and with EUCONS set both ed.ex and buzz.ex work with exwc and exw. Puzzling.
Without EUCONS, all I get are blanks.
After further investigation and testing I found the following.
SVN 1250 was the last win98 version that worked.
SVN 1256 built the xp/vista binaries ok; but building win98 binaries
caused the following error: (derek's name was on be_w.c)
be_w.c(428): Error! E1011: Symbol 'default_heap' has not been declared
I then tried to update to 1258 the update just changed be_w.c & be_machine.c but not the SVN version number. (Matt's name was on be_w.c )
I built the win98 binaries with no error:
When I ran win98 binaries the prompt message for file is a blank display
with just a cursor. Running a program I just get a blank console rectangle.
I also built SVN1261 but it has the same problem.
To sum up the problem:
SVN 1250 was the last version of win98 binaries that worked.
SVN 1256 is when all the problems started and none of the versions
of Win98 binaries after that worked.
The Win98 binaries DO NOT have the blank display problem
If you run them on XP\WIN2000 (don't know about VISTA)
