Does anybody know how to write a proper background timer program that displays the current time on the upper-right corner of screen like exists in DOS ? I tried it out but after upating the time , the cursor doesn't return to where it should be . Is there a way to solve this problem ? Note that I didn't implement the second-by-second updating method but pass a command line argument integer so as this amount if time elapses , only should the new time be written . I wonder is there an efficient way of doing every-second updating while it doesn't draws too much iritation to the foreground work ? - wong
