Hi,
How can I print to the console without having it scrolling to a new line
for each print statement?
I want to print a count down in the console, but for each count it scrolls
the screen (of course).
Is there another way?
=====
Here is some code i got off the web.
I use it on my os2 2.1 laptop for which I don't have curses or tkinker libs.
I mostly use the color functions and move
as a analog to turbo pascal/basic gotoxy.
