Hello, I am not sure if this is a specific DJGPP question, or an easy
to answer generic C question. But here goes: using standard printf()
statements, one adds a new line each printf() while the old statements
scroll upwards and eventually off the screen. I am looking for a
command that will allow me to do the equivalent of the QuickBasic
"LOCATE" command- that is, put a piece of text somewhere specific on
the screen. Even if I could get only text to return to the start of
the line it would be an improvement.
In mode 13h, I've drawn text around graphically, but I am not
interested in doing a full graphics compliment in this project-
standard DOS shell screen is what I'm using. Is there a simple djgpp
command that allows me to do the equivelent of the QB locate command?
Please post here. Email doesn't work.
Thanks
