hi all, i'm going to start again programming under linux. all i had done before this was some programs for DOS (i've been using linux for just a year) with Borland Pascal.
now in linux i'd like to start programming again, but there are some functions that i can't find, and that i can't implement.
for example, i need something as "delay(milliseconds)" but i can't find anything similar. ok, in C, i'd use "usleep()", but what in Pascal?
and, for example, again, "textcolor and textbackground" ?
readkey? keypressed?
and how to use Svgalib instead os DOS' BGI ?
please help me ASAP.
thanks in advance.

Program Foo;
uses Crt;
begin Delay ( 42 ) end.
and, for example, again, "textcolor and textbackground" ?
Program Foo;
uses Crt;
begin TextColor ( yellow ); TextBackground ( blue ); writeln ( 'Hello, world!' ) end.
readkey? keypressed?
Guess what. (Hint: `uses Crt';-)
and how to use Svgalib instead os DOS' BGI ?
On our web site (http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/) look out for GRX and BGI2GRX. This will provide both a BGI-style interface and a completely new interface to portable graphics for SVGAlib, X11, plain DOS, or whatever.
please help me ASAP.
Soon enough, I hope ...

hehe :) you're telling me to use Crt like i used to under DOS. but the compiler tells me that it can't find the module "crt"
what should i do?

Your email went immediately to the bottom of my overfull incoming mailbox. Better adjust your clock.

Judging from your other email, you already found it out: gpc --automake foo.pas
