To all you wonderful ASCII artists out there. I have a program in pascal to take care of, and I was wondering if you would help me. We are creating a text based board game called 'pawns'. Basically, it is a 4x4 board using just the pawns from chess. What I would like is a 4 line pawn or any other type of place marker for both players. Thanks for your help. ALSO...... Do any of you know what a <locate> type of statement would be in Pascal. It's for the same program, but my Prof. doesn't know of one. We are programming through 'vi' and compiling in UNIX with a command of: pc <filename>.p Thanks again, Tim tro...@wpo.uwsuper.edu

If you figure out how to find where the cursor is I'd like to know. On IBM you can use WhereX and WhereY but this is specific for IBM, and I'd like to know for CP/M... graham
