I have a Hercules. It may be only monochrome, though.

I see my mistake now. I initially used non-default options, then
it didn't work, so I did 'make clean' instead of 'make distclean'.
It compiled fine after 'make distclean'. I'm s

In regards to patch #2, are you trying to make almost all the mods I sent in,
including the elkscmd makefile stuff? I would like it if you could.
Also, I have rewritten dircon.c last night (except for the bell()) issue that you just
mentioned). I have attached it. It is better tha
