Actual Changes

These are changes to the source to remove the bottom status.

video_update_status_line(int line, const char *string)

video.c : Remove this math statement from the end of this call + 7*16 + 16

video_init_kimage(&g_mainwin_kimage, X_A2_WINDOW_WIDTH, X_A2_WINDOW_HEIGHT + 7*16 + 16);

A note about compiling

Depending on your OS version, the PERL statement in Makefile may fail. For my 32bit iMac, the line remains as the original. For my 64 bit system, 'swift' becomes 'swift-5.0'

PERL cp_kegs_libs kegsmac /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift

or

PERL cp_kegs_libs kegsmac /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift-5.0
