colours & clear screen

can somebody write a little example program, how can i clear screen (like CLS in dos) and use colours in text in Linux console (without conio.h)

thanks.
(yes, i can´t speak english well ;) )

Why not just use curses? It's a lot easier to read.

Code:

---

#include <curses.h>

void clrscr()
{
        initscr();
        clear();
        endwin();
}

---

If you don't care about platform independence, and just want to know the quick and dirty way to clear the screen, make a call to

system("clear");

at the point where you want the program to clear the screen.
