Joel asks
"Is there an Ada95 package that allows you to display text at position(x,y)
where x is the row, and y is the column (or something similar). I
remember this capability in Ada83, but have been unable to find it in
Ada95."
There is no such feature in either Ada 83 or Ada 95, since obviously this
is highly implementation dependent (for example, what are x and y?
character addresses -- well that assumes a simple display model with a
monospaced font -- pixel addresses? logical addresses?)
A typical implementation of Ada 95 will provide features for this kind
of access if they are appropriate to the system. See for example the
packages provided with the DOS version of GNAT.
