Hello Mark

Replying to a message of Mark Kobussen to All:

An interesting combination of compilers.  I have a program that started of
in Power C, went through TC v1.something and now is under EMX. It still
uses some of the Power C functions with the help of some #defines:

#if !defined (U2LOG_H)
#define U2LOG_H
#pragma nestcmnt

/* useful bits */
#ifdef __TURBOC__
#define cursoff() _setcursortype(_NOCURSOR)
#define cursblk() _setcursortype(_SOLIDCURSOR)
#define curslin() _setcursortype(_NORMALCURSOR)
#define curson() _setcursortype(_NORMALCURSOR)
#define clrscrn() clrscr()
#define poscurs(r, c) gotoxy(c+1, r+1)
#define curscol() (wherex()-1)
#define cursrow() (wherey()-1)
#define V_PRINTF printf
#endif

#ifdef __EMX__
/* #include */
#define cursoff() v_hidecursor()
#define cursblk() v_ctype(0. 7)
#define curslin() v_ctype(0, 1)
#define curson() v_ctype(0, 1)
#define clrscrn() v_clear()
#define clrscr() v_clear()
#define poscurs(r, c) v_gotoxy(c, r)
#define V_PRINTF v_printf
char *stpcpy(char *dest, const char *orig);
int curscol(void);
int cursrow(void);
#endif

char *eventlogging(char *eventlog_p, char *envlogvar1_p, char
*envlogvar2_p, char *exename_p, char *idname_p);
char *create_message(char *format, ...);
int write_event_log(void);
#endif /* !defined (U2LOG_H) */
