I have a dandy full-screen UNIX xterm editor I'd like to port to
OS/2, to run in an OS/2 window or in OS/2 full screen. But after
searching the C-Set/2 documentation, both hard copy and online, I can
find no description of low-level screen system calls usable for such
actions as clearing the screen, setting the text cursor position,
opening up a blank line, etc.
The "migration" calls, putch() and getch(), would be perfect for
outputting characters and inputting keystrokes -- including function
keys! -- without echo, but I can find nothing for fine control of the
screen. Can anyone advise of documentation for such functions?
In a DOS window under OS/2 it is still possible to issue BIOS
Interrupt 10h for this purpose. Is 10h also supported in an OS/2
window? If anyone can answer that question it might save a lot of
trouble (I have the Borland TASM for DOS, which claims to support 32
bit code, but from previous articles here, using its .OBJ files under
OS/2 looks to be an involved undertaking).
Regards, rLs
