I know some guy who hired OO guys for the 700 club. And I have had the same problem myself. gotoxy doesn't work for DOS either. I had to draw out letters, numbers, and symbols by hand then use allegro and some tactical blitting. They didn't come out bad either. If I was to do it again, I'd probably snap em in via video digitilizer, I hate wasting time making art :P To have a look at the letters, and whats going on with my game: www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~sager/ibh
