The difference is that Norton uses bright background colours
and the blink/acs hack was messed up somewhat.

Here's a quick patch, I'm working on something better but
I'd like to know if this helps you too.

Two mysteries remain:
Unpatched 1.3.2 works fine with Norton in two situations:
a) Linux console in utf8 mode (using unicode_start and a
utf8 locale)
b) Using slang 2.0 (this patch only affects #ifdefed code)

In all other scenarios it was messed up indeed.
But you seemed to imply otherwise.

I don't have CVS access at the moment, just a floppy (!).
