Offtopic.  Go to comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.* for help on this.

But this works in all C/C++ environments that have the concept of a
terminal (including DJGPP and M$VC):

#define SCREEN_HT 50  /* the maximum terminal size under DOS/Win */

void clrscr()
{
  int i;

  for(i = 0; i < SCREEN_HT; i++)
    printf("\n");
}
