Hi folks,
I hope some one has the answers to these, I've gone nuts trying to
find the solutions.
I'm building a Full Screen text editor for LINUX (More as a prog
exercise than anything else) and need to know the following :
[1] How do I colorise the screen, with DOS it was easy: all I had
to do was directly access video mem and set the bits.
[2] How do I move the cursor to any position on the screen?
[3] How do I get input from the kbd; getchar() echoes the char
to the terminal (Something I don't want) and with extended keys, it looks
ugly (^[[[A for F1 for example).
[4] Can I directly access vid mem. I tried using the same code
I had used for DOS (declare ptr to vid mem), but core dumped during
execution.
Thanx a mill for your time.
Regards,
Mahamood Hussain.
