ReadLn also behaves strange: It takes and displays the entered text correctly, but when I press the Enter-key, it just displays a musical note (the character of #13). When I repeat typing the Enter key, then at some point it is accepted. But the input string still has all the other #13's at its end.
Looks like something broken in your curses library,
I've already replaced PDcurses with the newest version. Same problem in both versions.
Perhaps you might want to try the latest GPC snapshot: http://gnu-pascal.de/contrib/chief/win32/mingw32/gpc-20050331.i386-pc- mingw32.tar.gz
Although I doubt it will help you.
or some weird setting on your terminal.
Or could it be a problem with my old Windows version?
Possibly. Anything is possible under Windows.
Have you tested it with the 95/98/ME series?
Not in recent times. In the past, yes - and then, I didn't experience these problems.
BTW: I don't think there is any need to call CrtInit directly.
If I leave it away, I even have problems under GNU/Linux with the second program...
Well - that is a problem. As far as I know, you should not need to call CrtInit directly.
