Hi,

we all know that the standard package Text_IO doesn't have a good text
mode support, so here is my question:

does someone know where to find a substitute for it, which would allow
me to:

- place the cursor wherever I want (like gotoxy in Pascal)
- change the foreground and background color
- hide the cursor
- change text mode (at least 80x25 and 80x50)

Thanks,
