DOS interface using C
Posted by elliott [send private reply] at July 30, 2002, 01:14:42 PM
I want to write a DOS based program in C. What I need help with is how do I do the actual interface? For example I want the program to to use the 'F#' keys(ie. F3) to select the task you would like to perform...then have a menu come up with the options available for that key...I would like to be able to move through the menu options with the arrow keys and then press enter to select that option...I need at least a starting point on how to create the DOS interface..

Install curses for DOS. Curses lets you control the terminal and do nifty stuff like you want to do.

Of course, there is no reason for anyone to be writing DOS programs anymore, so I'd question whether you even want to be doing this.

See djgpp.org (last time I checked it was there).
