    Yes, I had it working with nansi.sys, tinytcap and watt32 under djgpp,
    without LFN, built under dosemu. The trick is that you need to provide a
    default TERM in case the user doesn't set one. You can get the patches
    from members.nbci.com/ken_yap, but I think I have an older version of
    the patches there (0.1.6), I haven't got around to putting up the latest
    patches (which have diminished in size, thanks to incorporation into the
    mainstream). Mail me for the most recent version.
