In a program I've written I need to position the cursor to row 2 column 30
and print a title.
I decided to use printf() and stdio.h since it works better with
my screen reader than the conio.h library's cprintf() function.
I have the lines:
row=2;
col=30;
printf('\33''\133'row,col'\150'"natal change locator");
in as one of the lines in this program.
The only thing that's holding this program up is my desire to have neat
looking screen formatting.
Calculations and the rest works perfectly.  I'll probably have to
substitute:
*row and *col to get the contents of row and col to write out, and
probably
the octal for the comma character.  Is that likely to be all of the syntax
that's messed up in this line?
I'm curious if djgpp offers any other way to do this at some higher level
of abstraction too.
Other packages like ansisys-c.zip on the simtel archives have existed
since
1995 so this has me wondering about djgpp and maybe something I've missed
reading those info files.
