Cool. Post something ASAP (DOS, Win, whatever)!

OK, it looks like you're probably just printing to a window directly, right?
If so, you might look into using a pixmap, and blitting that do the screen. I
know, this kind of takes away from the simplicity you'd be using in DOS, but,
as I'm sure Jiri would be happy to point out, that's what you get for moving to
windows.
It's not that bad, really, and you could probably keep much of the same code,
and add an onPaint event that blits the pixmap to the window.
Seriously, though, I'd be very interested in seeing your Rogue/Nethack clone.
I've often thought about doing something like that myself.
