DOS ain't dead

Roberto found a spread sheet program based on FLTK. This was very easy to port to DOS.

So if someone wants to take a look at it:

I worked on the program again and it works ok now - from what I can say.

Nice!
I am glad I don't have to use such kind of programs at work but it is great that new such program exists for DOS.
(although in case of spreadsheets prograps I think that classics text interface is more than enough)

DOS-u-akbar!

I have tried your program. It looks very nice :) but it freezes when I exit. There isn't an error message, only the cursor blinking. I Have try with JEMM386 and with XMGR only.

Does anyone have this problem too?

The program does not need emm386 and Rugulo reported problems with "emm386 noems" when testing FLWriter. Can you run it just with HIMEM loaded?

I have written my post badly, I have tested the program in two ways:

1)with XMGR only (without JEMM386 or JEMMEX)
2)with JEMMEX

I will try with HIMEMX but I think It will be the same.

I have tested it a bit more. The program freezes in the exit when before I have saved a file. What's more, when I open the saved file, the A1 cell is corrupted, it's overwritten with the name of the file.

Hi Ron,

yes, I also observe that the A1 cell is overwritten with the name of the file. I will fix that in the next release.
