[comp.lang.pascal] Cursor on graphics mode

GRAD205%BRFUEM.BITNET@uicvm.uic.edu ( Humberto Jose' Bortolossi) (03/22/91)

Hello|

      Please, I would like to know if it's possible to put a cursor on
graphics mode, that is, If it's possible to have a cursor on DOS while
screen is graphics (CGA, EGA).

      Any help will be welcome. Thanks very much in advance.

Deja vu!  I just posted this morning a reply to another, remotely
similar, graphics question suggesting taking a look at the graphics
demonstration /pc/ts/tsdemo14.arc.  They way I've done it is to
simulate the cursor by an appropriate non-blinking block.  If
blinking is not absolutely necessary, then you are easily in
business.
   If the latter part of your question means an escape to dos while
in a graphics program (your question is not unambiguous on this)
then I must admit that I don't have an answer.
