Hello, = $Bill:

Sorry to say this: the = second way you=20 mentioned does not work:

> 2) compile this into = clear.exe or=20 cls.exe:
> #include = <stdio.h>
> int main () {=20 printf("033[2J"); }

Here is an example that = will work ( use=20 g++ -o cls cls.cpp ):

[cls.cpp]

#include <iostream.h>

int main () {
char a =3D 27u;
cout << a << "[2J";
return 0;
}

And I am sure that you can = figure out=20 several ways to do this in pure C in order to generate a more compact = binary=20 executable file.

Sincerely,
Wei Ku

Here's three things you can try:

1) alias cls=3D'echo -n=20 ^[[2J'            = # the=20 ^[ is an esc (in vi I use ^V followed by
            &= nbsp;           &n= bsp;           &nb= sp;  =20 # ^[ where ^ is holding down the cntrl key)

2) compile this into clear.exe or cls.exe:

        #include <stdio.h>
        int main () {=20 printf("033[2J"); }

3) alias cls=3D'cat ~/.cls'
        where .cls contains just = these 4=20 chars with no \n or spaces (ESC [ 2 J)
