WRITELIN and WRITEXY
by

***********************************************************
* These Procedures are Public Domain and are free to be *
* copied, modified, and distributed. *
***********************************************************
VARS - These variable must be Global and be used at the very top
of your program.
WRITELIN - To call this procedure first initialize LINE_POS ar the beginning
of your program to 0 by the statement LINE_POS:=0;. If this is not
done, no telling what may happen. Next use the procedure by the
following Syntax:
WRITELN(<Character String>,<Color -Integer between
0 and 255>);
Example:
WRITELN('Hello',12);
WRITEXY - It is not necessary to initialize LINE_POS or any other variables
to use this procedure. Here is the Syntax:
WRITEXY(<Character String>,<X-Coordinate>,<Y-Coor-
dinate>,<Color -Integer between 0 and 255>);
Example:
WRITEXY('Hello',40,20,(12+128));
Note: Adding 128 to color adds Blinking,
(ie, to add blinking to red (12), add 128
or 140 for blinking).
These Routines are generally more responsive than the regular Turbo Pascal
procedure and much faster. If you have any questions about them, please
