I recently obtained a old (early 1980s) Pascal program which was
originally written to work on a PC (most likely DOS). I am having
difficulty compiling the two functions listed below.
Specifically, the compiler does not understand the INTR and
GOTOXY keywords. Any idea what these do? If so, how can I
duplicate their function using CodeWarrior Pro 2 for Windows?
Thanks,
John Chauvin

FUNCTION GETCHAR : CHAR;
TYPE REGPACK = RECORD
AX,BX,CX,DX,BP,SI,DI,DS,ES,FLAGS : INTEGER;
END;
VAR REGISTERS : REGPACK;
C : CHAR;
BEGIN
C := CHR(0);
WHILE C = CHR(0) DO
BEGIN
REGISTERS.AX := 8*256;
INTR(33,REGISTERS); <=== What is INTR?
C := CHR(REGISTERS.AX AND 255);
END;
GETCHAR := C;
END;

PROCEDURE CLEAR;
VAR I : INTEGER;
BEGIN
FOR I := 1 TO 25 DO WRITELN;
GOTOXY(0,0); <==== What is GOTOXY?
END;
