Message-ID: Date: 23 Feb 90 20:59:39 GMT Sender: news@bu.edu.bu.edu Organization: Boston University College of Engineering Lines: 19 For a program which I'm writing, I want to provide ANSI, BIOS, and DMA screen support. It is easy to determine whether I should use BIOS or DMA, but I'm having problems detecting ANSI. If anyone can point me to how to check for any of the ANSI variants from within a Pascal or C program (I will be using the Turbo variants, but I feel myself conversant enough with both to translate to whichever form I will be programming in), I would greatly appreciate it. just my two bytes, austin -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The surgeon general of the United States of America has determined that | | reading USENET turns your brain to jelly, leaving nothing to claim or to | | disclaim. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ +-----------+ Austin Ziegler austin@bucsf.bu.edu or austin@buengf.bu.edu | | 700 Commonwealth Box 2094, Boston, Massachusetts 02215 BUENG '93 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
