hi!

i'm using djgpp (downloaded last sunday...). i'm writing a little
database in commandline of win95. for different textcolors and -backgrounds
i use
textattr(). but only when i use clrscr() the changes will take affect on the
next printf() command. a change with textattr() without clrscr() has no
effect. here's the procedure

void db_write() {
  textattr(112);
  clrscr();
  //printf("write database\n");
  printf("  martin's cd-datenbank v0.1\n");
  textattr(31);

printf("+------------------------------------------------------------------
  printf("¦
  printf("¦
  ...
  ...
  ...

printf("+------------------------------------------------------------------
  textattr(112);
  printf("  pfeiltasten: hoch/runter - enter: auswahl");
  gotoxy(0,3); // wegen cmd-prompt  nach ende
}

printf()'s are not completed here but in the source. all with ...");

if you know the prob then please answer me!

thanx a lot!

bye, martin!
