Now the problem is: The cursor is still broken (is at 1/3 from the top)

This was fixed, upgrade from CVS.

I went to sleep very happy, but today I found some problems:

1) The cursor is fine, but completely disapears in Borland C 3.1 in the IDE. Thsi happens with any number of lines and with or without "$_X_font = "vga""

2) Now when I run NDN dosemu eats 90% of the CPU (any version including the very old 2.10 in real mode). If I open 2 or 3 dosemu sessions this is shared between them.

How to free CPU time?

What is the best method to release cpu usage inside dosemu?

The problem is: I have made a program that runs in a loop checking keyboard, mouse, network, etc.. It cannot call bios read key function and lock there. But I can release time in the event loop.

Should I do HLT, call int28 many times? If I do HLT, will it restart after "interrupt" events like keyboard, mouse, packet driver, timer (54ms), etc?

thanks,
Alain
PS: I still have the problem below, BC31 is important because most of FreeDOS itself is made with it...
