Another solution would be to create a Procedure that directly Writes to the
video ram, like this:
}
Const
vidSeg = $B800; { $B000 For monochrome monitors }
Procedure WriteAt(x1, y1 : Byte; msg : String);
Var
i : Integer;
begin
For i := 1 to Length(msg) do
Mem[vidSeg : (x1 + i - 1) * 2 + (y1 - 1) * 160] := msg[i];
end;
{
This will change the Text on any place on the screen, disregarding the cursor
position. Be careful, though! if you Write a message With, say, 20
Characters, and start it at 80, 25, only the first letter will be visible, and
the rest of the String will over-Write other areas of ram, which could cause
mayhem! Use With caution!
