is true that the gotoxy and textcolor are borland.

if you use the free compiler dev c++, the conio.h already emulates the gotoxy functions, so it doesn''t really matter, works either way.

Hey tony, I did a text based zork clone about 7 years ago ... but showing you the source wouldn''t help ... because it was the first program with pointers I ever did ... so i didn''t program it well at all. Unfortunately I haven''t done anything big, text based since then ... in fact, now that I remember I think the first version of it was done in Pascal, and I translated only parts of it to C/C++ while I was learning.
