Hi I have seen a funny thing when running a crt program in the msys environment, using pdcurses-2.6. This is the program: program Foo; uses crt; var i: Integer; begin clrscr; for i := 1 to ParamCount do WriteLn (ParamStr (i)) end. This is the weird error I get when I run the program: "LINES value must be >= 2 and <= 1: got 1 initscr(): LINES=1 COLS=1: too small." If I do "export LINES=25" and run the program again, I get: "LINES value must be >= 2 and <= 1: got 25 initscr(): LINES=25 COLS=1: too small." If I do "export COLS=80" and run the program again, I get: "LINES value must be >= 2 and <= 1: got 25" Obviously there is a problem somewhere. How can a value be ">=2" while being "<=1" at the same time? This is a new mathematical experience for me! Any clues? Thanks.
