In the past two  months I’ve learned some really incredible things on Borland C++, and I owe it all to you people.  My deepest thanks! 

I’ve written a multiple size text program base upon the \BC5\BGI\bgidemo.c program, which for brevity is not shown here. “bgidemo.c” calls this module.

The below module is defined as extern "C" void color1(void);

Target = Application
Platform = DOS standard
BGI is checked

My question is, now I want to print additional text on the screen with this function, but puttext(); doesn’t  work 
cprintf(); doesn’t  work 
puts(); doesn’t  work 
------------------------- col.or1.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

void color1(void)
{ //89
int col, row, startrow, startcol, endrow, endcol;
char Hbar[3], Vbar[3], ULcor[3], URcor[3], LLcor[3], LRcor[3];

	Hbar[0] =  (char) 0xC4; /* HORIZONTAL single border ! */
	  Hbar[1] = '\0';
	Vbar[0] =  (char) 0xB3;  /* verticle single border  */
	  Vbar[1] = '\0';
	ULcor[0] = (char) 0xDA;  /* upper-left single corner */
	  ULcor[1] = '\0';
	URcor[0] = (char) 0xBF;  /* upper-right single corner  */
	  URcor[1] = '\0';
	LLcor[0] = (char) 0xC0;  /* lower-left single corner  */
	  LLcor[1] = '\0';
	LRcor[0] = (char) 0xD9;  /* lower-right single corner */
	  LRcor[1] = '\0';

row= startrow= 6;
col= startcol= 1;
endrow= 24;
endcol=  77;

textcolor(1);
textbackground(1);
window( startcol, startrow, endcol, endrow);
clrscr();

======== EVERYTHING WORKS FINE TO THIS POINT
textcolor(7);
textbackground(7);

//for( row = startrow; row < endrow; row++ )
//	{
//	gotoxy( row, startcol );

=== I WANT TO PRINT TO THE SCREEN HERE, 
BUT WHAT FUNCTION DO I USE???? ===========
puttext(); DOESN’T  WORK 
cprintf(); DOESN’T  WORK 
puts(); DOESN’T  WORK 

//	}

return (0);
} //89
