Oh yeah, BC3 was pre-95.... 32bit was still mostly a dream....
(Cranking up BC++3.1) Yep, DOS or Windows (Windows 3.1) or Win DLL
targets, no console.
Didn't catch which version he was using.
Didn't the later BC (not Builder) versions support 32bit?

Yeah, saw that after I posted....
Good suggestions, all.

Hmmm..."but no console mode"?? But you just said in the other thread
"Since you have Borland C++, if you have Win95 or better then you
might also consider writing a Win32 console program instead (NOT a
Win32S program)."  ..... (A suggestion I highly endorse)...
I that case, my reply would be valid, though puttext() is simpler to
code than the similar WinApi WriteConsoleOutput() that I use.

Oh! "IN" 16bit Windows? As in he is using Windows 3 (or WFWG) as his
development platform? Not just writing a 16bit app on a better
computer?
