Hello out there,
I want to simulate a multi-line character display (used in an embedded
device) with a console mode program.
For this to work I need commands to control the cursor position on the
screen. Under DOS one would load ANSI.SYS and then use the appropriate
escape sequences.
Any info on how to achieve this will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Helmut Giese
