(Pascal programmers will recognize the commands I'm looking for in Ada :-) and for that matter, they will also know I'm looking for a Crt Library equivalent for ada :-).. Basically I'd like to know if there's anything out there that will allow me to clear the screen (DOS or Windows Console) position the cursor at X, Y, have somekind of Window statement (for Text mode rectangular semi windowing, Text color and background changing, Cursor On or Off, etc etc. I dont want a full T.U.I. like an N Curses library I've been suggested when I last asked, .just implementations of these functions (with perhaps a bit more :-)... URL's, Source samples, would be highly appreciated.
