The problem is that, it redraws the GUI very slow. Even on my 850 MHZ Athlon, I can see the cursor drawing up the GUI. Currently I use the gotoxy(); function and cprintf(); to draw the GUI. But when doing big redraws, it just become too slow, like on another program I made, I used the ASCII character 219 to form a word, which I moved across the screen. This was also terrible slow. So, do anyone know of a better way to draw up ASCII graphics without using the gotoxy and cprintf? Jon
