Expires: Quoted from <365@usc-oberon.UUCP> ["Turbo Pascal Questions"], by hartsoug@usc-oberon.UUCP (Mike Hartsough)... +--------------- | Answers to the following questions regarding Turbo Pascal would be appreciated. | I have version 2.0 | | A discussion a while back concerned turning the cursor off...I of course | was not interested at the time...how is this done from a Turbo program? +--------------- I have a procedure to do this; anyone interested send mail. I don't know if it's 2.0 compatible or not (I have 3.0). It uses information stored in low RAM by MS-DOS and accesses the card (color or monochrome, there is a DOS pointer in low RAM which knows which is in use and contains the port number of the card), so it doesn't need INT 10 but DOES need a reasonably-compatible MS-DOS (Sanyo MBC550 need not apply). Works fine on my ITT XTRA, I assume it will work on a PC/XT/AT since I got the tech info. from a book about those machines, but others are ???. Usage: cursor(true); { turn cursor on } cursor(false); { turn cursor off } --Brandon -- ihnp4!sun!cwruecmp!ncoast!allbery ncoast!allbery@Case.CSNET ncoast!tdi2!brandon (ncoast!tdi2!root for business) 6615 Center St. #A1-105, Mentor, OH 44060-4101 Phone: +01 216 974 9210 CIS 74106,1032 MCI MAIL BALLBERY (part-time)
