Hi everybody,

I have recently converted  over  to  Watcom.   Previously, I was using
Borland C++ 4.0 for my DOS/Windows programming, and EMX for OS/2.

I have a few questions about things that I cannot seem to be  able  to
do in Watcom that I could do in Borland C++ or EMX.

First  thing.  Put a specific image onto the screen in text mode.  The
image would be a direct copy of DOS video memory.  (Specifically, a  C
save  file  from TheDraw).  I believe Borland had a puttext() function
or something to do this.

I need a function that will work in both DOS and OS/2.

Secondly, how to get  a  copy  of  everything on the screen, including
attributes.  I believe the function in Borland  was  gettext().   This
would let me save a copy of the screen and later restore it.

Any help would be very much appreciated!
