2723 MSDOS/DJGPP: 2731 Win32 console:
2724 9 Pressing CTRL-C often crashes the console Vim runs in. (Ken Liao)
2725 When 'bioskey' isn't set it doesn't happen. Could be a problem with the
2726 BIOS emulation of the console. Version 5.6 already had this problem.
2727 8 DJGPP: "cd c:" can take us to a directory that no longer exists.
2728 change_drive() doesn't check this. How to check for this error?
2729 9 The 16 bit version runs out of memory very quickly. Should find unused
2730 code and reduce static data. Resetting 'writebackup' helps to be able to
2731 write a file.
2732 9 Crash when running on Windows 98 in a console window and pressing CTRL-C.
2733 Happens now and then. When debugging Vim in gdb this also happens. Since
2734 the console crashes, might be a bug in the DOS console. Resetting
2735 'bioskey' avoids it, but then CTRL-C doesn't work.
2736 9 DOS: Make CTRL-Fx and ALT-Fx work.
2737 CTRL-F1 = CE-5E, CTRL-F2 = CE-5F, .., CTRL-F10 = CE-67
2738 ALT-F1 = CE-68, ALT-F2 = CE-69, .., ALT-F10 = CE-71
2739 Shifted cursor keys produce same codes as unshifted keys. Use bioskey(2)
2740 to get modifier mask for <S-C-M-Fx>.
2741 Use K_SPECIAL/KS_MODIFIER codes to insert modifier mask in input stream?
2742 Make this work like in Win32 console.
2743 Mapping things like <M-A> doesn't work, because it generates an extended
2744 key code. Use a translation table?
2745 9 Can't read an opened swap file when the "share" command has not been used.
2746 At least ignore the swap files that Vim has opened itself.
2747 8 Use DJGPP 2.03.
2748 8 The Dos32 version (DJGPP) can't use long file names on Windows NT.
2749 Check if new package can be used (v2misc/ntlfn08[bs].zip).
2750 8 setlocale() is bogus.
2751 8 Vim busy waits for new characters or mouse clicks. Should put in some
2752 sort of sleep, to avoid eating 50% of the CPU time. Test on an unpatched
2753 Windows 95 system!
2754 8 DJGPP: when shell is bash, make fails. (Donahoe)
2755 7 Hitting CTRL-P twice quickly (e.g., in keyword completion) on a 8088
2756 machine, starts printer echo! (John Mullin).
2757 7 MSDOS 16 bit version can't work with COMSPEC that has an argument, e.g.:
2758 COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 (Bradley)
2759 Caused by BCC system() function (Borland "make" has the same problem).
2760 8 Mouse: handle left&right button pressed as middle button pressed. Add
2761 modifier keys shift, ctrl and alt.
2762 7 When too many files are open (depends on FILES), strange things happen.
2763 The Dos16 version runs out of memory, in the Dos32 version "!ls" causes a
2764 crash. Another symptom: .swp files are not deleted, existing files are
2765 "[New file]".
2766 7 DJGPP version doesn't work with graphics display mode. Switch to a mode
2767 that is supported?
2768 8 DJGPP: ":mode" doesn't work for many modes. Disable them.
2769 8 DJGPP: When starting in Ex mode, shouldn't clear the screen. (Walter
2770 Briscoe)

2773 MSDOS, OS/2 and Win32:
2774 8 OS/2: Add backtick expansion. Undefine NO_EXPANDPATH and use
2775 gen_expand_wildcards().
2776 8 OS/2: Add clipboard support? See example clipbrd.exe from Alexander
2777 Wagner.
2778 8 OS/2: Add Extended Attributes support and define HAVE_ACL.
2779 8 OS/2: When editing a file name "foo.txt" that is actually called FOO.txt,
2780 writing uses "foo.txt". Should obtain the real file name.
2781 8 Should $USERPROFILE be preferred above $HOMEDRIVE/$HOMEPATH? No, but it's 2732 8 Should $USERPROFILE be preferred above $HOMEDRIVE/$HOMEPATH? No, but it's
2782 a good fallback, thus use: 2733 a good fallback, thus use:
