According to Martin Moerman:
When i use gpc i can't use the command clrsrc (clear screen). Normaly in pascal i have to do (uses dos;),
you mean: uses crt;
how can i solve this problem in gpc?
You have to find some standard library (dependend of your operating system) which contains something equivalent to clrscr. On DOS and OS/2, look into the EMX documentation libref.doc (it is a C library, but never mind -- GPC.GUIDE explains how to use it with GPC). With Linux, write the terminal escape sequences to the screen to emulate functions of CRT -- see the etc/termcap file for details.
Or you can wait a little: I am writing a system-independent replacement for crt, graph, and the whole Turbo Vision (but in graphics mode). (Some people say, there would be no need for it, but I won't stop. :-) I hope to be ready for the first release (of only the crt part) this year.
ps. Is there also a manual for it (not gpc.guide)..
I am afraid, no. But read README.TURBO, there are some things documented, how GPC differs from Turbo.
Bye,
Peter
