Having never used OS/2, I got a job as an R&D Software Engineer, programming in Visual Age C++ in OS/2 Warp 4!
My first major task was to develop a telnet-able color text user interface. I used ANSI escape sequences. Actually, I created a class that when instatiated, gives me an object much like cout, but I can stream insert things like fg_color(blue) or cursor_at(10,20).
What I would like to know more about is the ANSI graphics modes. I've read here and elswhere that I can get to 320x X 200y X 256c. HOWTO? And once there how do I place pixels, etc...? And will this work through an ANSI telnet session?
Thanks in advance.
Take care. James. :o)
