Does anyone know of a nice, little set of routines that will give me the
functionality of roughly CONIO.H (or at the very least, STDIO.H) for
a monochrome screen?

I have an application running on VGA, but I'd like to add support for
a secondary status monitor (monochrome) at the same time.

Thanx.

Yes. Get DR DOS and you will be all set. The actual line you
would add could be as follows:

?REM

When DR DOS hit this line it will wait for you enter Y or N and
then it will continue. Not quite as nice as a straight pause statement
but the end result is the same.

It sounds like a debugger problem.  FlashTek's debugger (FlashView) for

Have you checked out recent versions of Sourcer, from V Communications?
It's very fast, it can generate .ASM or .LST files, and can be set to
recognize 286- and 386-specific code in 16- or 32-bit segments.  Definitely
worth the small price Sourcer charges for it.

If you just want on-line disassembly, just about any debugger software
currently out there will disassemble 386-specific instructions containing a
prefix.  The only time most debuggers mess up is with prefix-less code in
32-bit segments, because they assume 16-bit segments.

AG> Any pointers to source code would be extremely helpful.

Unfortunately, Sourcer does not come with its own source!  (perhaps you
could use Sourcer on itself, although I presume that would violate your
license agreement with them :-)

Ah, but the point of the DR-DOSsers' and 4DOSsers' never is solving
the majority's command.com-MsDos related problems, but to make

	Quit simple.  EXE file upon loading have far pointer

cannot have RELATIVE far calls and jumps.  SO in order to specify the

I am having a problem in BC++3.0 with virtual functions.
It was compiled huge model with and without optimization, and various
other flags is dos mode.

Basically, the wrong function is being invoked.
my program is structured like this:

class base
{
..
virtual somefunc()
};

class a : public class base
{
..
virtual unrelatedfunc()
};

class b: public class base,public class someotherbase
{
..
virtual somefunc()
};

b someb;
someb->somefunc()  actually calls unrelatedfunc in class a.

I verified this with the debugger, and by putting output statements
just before the call to someb->somefunc(), and in unrelatedfunc().
needless to say, the program goes nuts because the context is totally
wrong for unrelatedfunc().

Is this a known problem? is it fixed in 3.1?

I've had some problems with BC & breakpoints as well.  The problem I
ran into was this:

I duplicated this error ~15-20 times.  When I placed a breakpoint in
a header file, on a certain inline function, BC++ 3.1 would lock up
before beginning to run (to be exact, it locked up when it tried to
save the project file).  Normally, it tries to warn you that you
can not set a breakpoint on an inline function  (invalid breakpoint)
but in this case, it missed it.

I would regard this as a bug.

	I'm trying to write an event-loop program that displays
a series of "RectAreas" on the screen. Clicking the mouse
on any one of these (in this case 4) rectangles would then
call spawnl() to start any one of 4 other programs. 
	My hope was to return control to the event loop after exiting
any such program, so the mouse could then choose again. I was able 
successfully call my programs with spawnl(P_WAIT, ...) but would
then exit to never-never land. So then I tried spawnl(P_OVERLAY, ...),
 which spawns successfully, but then exits to the dos prompt, rather 
than back to the event loop.  So this is my question: Is this what
spawnl(P_OVERLAY, ...) is supposed to do? (exit to the dos prompt). 
Or am I failing to return to the event loop because of memory 
overload?  (On a 386SX with 2 meg ram, Borland c++).

I'll spare you my standard diatribe about MASM, but the quick
answer is that as of MASM 6.0 the cross-reference file does not
exist.  It is *supposedly* replaced by the Source Code Browser, 
but that doesn't help someone who doesn't have the entire source
online, and doesn't point you to an assembly listing line number...
which would be difficult since MASM 6 doesn't print line numbers.

Hello,
I'm currently writing a small database for a friend's company and encountered
the following problem: 
1) I save the records in a fstream file, build 2 indexes for easier search
(everything okay so far)
2) When I try to change the content of a record (read it, change the 
appropriate data and try to write it back, it gets appended to the end of the 
file, although I opened the file ios::out (I also tried ios::out|ios::app and a
seekg to the required position and ios::out|ios::ate and seekg()). In addition
to the wrong position for the rewrite the file sometimes is corrupted 
afterwards, making read-access for my build_index() - function impossible.

If there is some general error in my concept - (or some fine c++-specific I
missed ) *please* let me know. 
If there is some code available for automatic RandomAccessFiles - that would be
even better (sorry - I can't ftp, but mail is okay)!!
P.s. My last idea would be to copy all preceding records to a new file, append
the new one and copy the rest of the original file and then rename to the 
original, but thats pretty disk-intensive, right :->>>?

Yes!!!!  That fixed it!  Don't know why I didn't notice Borland's version
of the chdir, mkdir, rmdir commands...  I guess they included them because
the DOS equivalent is quirky...  I still have to use a batch file to execute
the self-extracting files, though... any ideas on getting redirection to
work under program control?  The files are compressed with the PK version
of self-extracting stuff (forget the name).  The command

     \command.com /C prcmpgm.exe *.* > nul

does not redirect output to nul. All of the unpacking garbage scrolls
across the screen.  Under batch file control, however, works fine.


Thanks again G. David Douglas, Jr!!

Greetings netter,

	OK, I gots myself a teeny problem. I had a book, which had the
algo. The I had to register, needless to say I had to return the book. Then
I bought a book, almost the same type except its PCX compression algo was
for 24-bit only :(

	All I need is a quik overview of the algo, and the run and string
codes (the actual flag values, ie 0xff or 0xc5 etc.....)

					Tanx much dudes ;)
