According to Herbert Voss:

how can I clear the screen under gpc? Just like Borlands ClrScr.

On the DOS/DJGPP platform, use `ClrScr' from the `CRT' Unit of the "BPcompat" package, available at

ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/contrib/bpcompat.zip ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/contrib/bpcompat.zip

You can also try the portable `BO5' library, available at

ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/contrib/bo5/ ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/contrib/bo5/

`BO5' has a `Displays' Unit which implements a `ClearScreen' procedure which does essentially the same as `ClrScr'.

We are still looking for somebody who wants to implement a portable, Borland-compatible `CRT'. (But our `Graph' Unit, "BGI2GRX", works on Linux at least.:)

Hope this helps,

Peter
