How do I use the LineTo function in console mode

I don''t beleive you can use Win32 API functions in a non-Win32 app, which is what a console is. But I could be wrong...

Only if you want to mess with the display and go into a graphics mode can you draw lines effectively (I''m not even sure Windows lets you do this?)

Alternatively, you could use lots of dashes.

You could get away with using the inline assembler and mode 13h graphics couldn''t you? Fun stuff
