Is there any menu system / user interface system that works with djgpp?
I normally work on unix and my programs rarely have any cursor control etc.
so I have no experience with user interfaces for MS-DOS. With Unix I have
only used Xview. Any information about user interfaces that work with djgpp
is welcome.
I got a standard vga card (256 kB) and want to create some kind of interface
(mainly text, perhaps some sliders) for an application.
I tried the GrText function, but as the functions in libgr are limited
to 256 color modes the highest resolution I can get is 320x200, corresponding
to 30x12 characters of the fixed 8x16 size. Is there any way to get more
characters in graphics mode?
In text mode Ansi.sys commands does not seem to work, even though I have
ansi.sys in config.sys and specify
"set GO32=ansi driver c:/djgpp/drivers/tseng3k.grd "
The command printf("\033[2j"); simply prints a j without clearing the screen.
Is there another way to position the cursor in text mode?
