Hello All!
I wrote my own text mode windowing system a while back, but a recent
"project" has proven it inadaquate. I just spent the entire day attempting
to re-write it, but other than crashing the system several times (corrupting
the source code several times), I haven't made any progress.
Does anyone have a package which:
- Works under DOS
- Provides FAST output (i.e. direct video output, compatible with DV)
- Supports single and double borders, as well as titles, on the windows
NOTE: In this project, I also need windows which have *no* borders...
- Provides "shadows" on windows
- Can be easily C++-ized, even if it's simply a wrapping...
- Provides the following functions:
Write() (write at the current position)
Write (x, y) (write at x,y relative to the window)
Printf() (printf at the current position)
Printf (x, y) (duh)
I don't need any other functions except those listed above. (This does not
include things such as "SetAttribute" for setting the current colour, etc.)
I don't care either way if it's portable or not - if it works under DOS, can
be compiled with BC45, and can be C++-ized, I'll be happy.
Kurt? You seem to do a lot with direct video output... Maybe you have
something? :-)
Take care,
Anthony
