I'm writting a simple get input file in TurboC and everything is working
fine except for the lines in which I clear the screen (I clear the screen
during error-checking, also to make the echoed input look nice.).
I used the command clrscr(); and it cleared the screen but sometimes it
would 'erase' the next printf statement. Also, I don't think clrscr() is
portable to most (if any) AnsiC programs that aren't Turbo. I wish to main-
tain maximum portability, so I'm very hesitant to use it.
Also, I used system("cls"); because I'm using an IBM compatible Epson and
although clr works at the DOS level, it doesn't execute at runtime in
TurboC. Why?
Is there a bug in TurboC 2.0 for the screen-clear application?
Am I just missing some header file declaration?
I appreciate any help. Please e-mail any responses (I'm not likely to
read this soon, or at least I'll forget to) to my uxa account. Thank you.
