I recently resurrected a Dos window library that I used to port a Pascal
interpreter to Windows 3x, and developed a small test program to help
debug the code I added to bring it up to date.
To my surprise, I discovered that the Windows 3-95-NT Dos box window has
a flaw in its cursor movement logic in which the bottom line generated by
the test program get shifte upward.
The test program also shows a problem in cygwinb19x. For one thing,
clearing the screen after setting color attributes still gives you a
monochrome screen. And the bottom line generated is shifted up one
line further than under vanilla Windows.
You can compile the following test program under cygnus to show this.
For comparison, you can also compile it under MingW32, and run it with
ansi.sys loaded in your Dos window. There are options that show clear
differences in display speed in the program. The fastest option under
my Dos Window is selected.
