Subject: Enquirer 3 problems

I'm having a few problems with the enquirer program. I am running
windows 95 (and plus) and cannot seam to get the colours correct with
enquirer with any of the themes from windows 95 installed. Am I doing
somethig wrong, or is this a but in the program.

This is a bug in the program. You'd have to use more than 256 colors
in windows to make it go away.
The author of the program, Peter Fleming, has long since stopped
developing the code, so there's no chance of a bug fix from him
either.

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but I have the same problem.

You can get around it by choosing Edit then Rail, Roads, etc. If you
select this, then exit, the colours return to normal...
