Description:
Some time back we switched from a 1994 vintage Borland C++ compiler to Microsoft Visual C++ 6. We now need to make a change to one of our data entry programs, but the compiler flags the gotoxy(0.0); statement, that homes the cursor, as an error. I understand that this is an old DOS sub-routine that Microsoft does not support.
We are looking for replacement code to set the cursor to position(0,0) in the function below.
Dale Misegadis
// size defaults to 25.
void clr_screen(int size)
{
gotoxy(0,0);
for(int cntrl = size; cntrl; cntrl--)
cout << '\n';
gotoxy(0,0);
}
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:
We are running this program in batch mode under Windows XP Pro.

Your job has been accomplished!
I know your problem. I had exactly the same problem; I developed a small function that acts exactly the same like Borland's gotoxy.
I attached a file called gotoxy.h in the ZIP file. The file is documented and can be easily understood.
All you need to do, is to:
#include 'gotoxy.h'
That's all
