Well, Ive read the FAQ and done searches of this board and it appears that in theory I should be able to jump to a precise location on the screen as follows:
#include<conio.h>
.....
int i=30,j=50;
gotoxy(i,j);
Unfortunately this does not work on Microsoft QuickC 2.51. Is there another way? I appreciate that I can write direct into the video memory but have found that although this produces an .exe file which works on a machine running Windows 98 it does NOT work on a machine running Windows 2000 Professional. I assume that this is because it uses a totally different address for the screen ( actually I'm surprised it works with Win 98 )
So any ideas? Many thanks.
PS I have concluded that there are lots of different versions of .h files ... not really surprising, I suppose.
