Hi,

    Even easier then :). Just do something like this :

    #include <conio.h>          /* For text manipulation */

    [...]

    _setcursortype(_NOCURSOR);

    /* Do your dirty work. We're invisible now :) */

    _setcursortype(_NORMALCURSOR); /* Restore cursor */

    [...]

    The _NOCURSOR and _NORMALCURSOR are Djgpp's inner defines. You also have
the
_SOLIDCURSOR option for setting the cursor as a solid block.See the info
docs for more information.
I hope this helps.
