Not sure, haven't looked. Is it trying ANSI escapes or doing something video-card specific?

IIRC, years ago, Mateusz patched it for his CGA/8086 machine (for Svarog86 ??). Re-reading some old 2015 email implies yes, see SF.net here. Also, there I mentioned some other CLS patches.

But also make sure (if you can) to also try the latest prerelease (0.84-pre7 from Dec. 2019) on Github.
