I didn't say the "pascal standard", I said Pascal as in Pascal compilers, it's called the Crt Unit, and it gives fonctions such as: TextColor TextBackground GotoXY Window functions....Free Pascal has it, Borland pascal had it, Virtual Pascal has it, GNU Pascal I believe uses something different, but I'd have to double check if it has a Crt Unit or not. Anyway I'm not looking for Pascal on this forum, but these are the kind of functions I'm looking for. :-) -- St�phane Richard Senior Software and Technology Supervisor http://www.totalweb-inc.com For all your hosting and related needs "Larry Kilgallen" wrote in message news:4iPzUSLmXU12@eisner.encompasserve.org... > In article <8Gx_a.2094$jw4.1318@nwrdny03.gnilink.net>, "Stephane Richard" writes: > > Hello everyone, > > > > I've asked this before, but accidents in my system (windows and my CPU > > collided dramatically, there was no survivors hehe)...so I'd like to, if I > > may, inquire one more time. > > > > From what I've read in the Ada95 RM and on multiple source examples, I dont > > believe Ada95, be it for DOS or Windows Console Text mode, does colors, or > > does rectangular scrolling, or nothing of the sort.
