I'm attempting to writing a c++ hangman game and would like to know if is possible to keep the output at a set location on the screen.  I would like to have the gallows and any additional output to appear in the same location without printing an inordinate amount of new line characters.  The program must also be portable so I'm trying to stay away from os specific functions if possible.

your assistance is greatly appreciated!

I can help you with the gotoxy() function. However, this is a Windows-only version of the function. If you still want it, let me know.

There is directly operate to video card memory, map it to a 64 kb frame

I am also looking for something to make DOS graph programs.

Ok, then. Here it goes. It also includes some other console functions (wherex, wherey, clrscr, textcolor, textbackground). The code is adapted from conio.c from dev-c++.
