That's depends on your compiler (RTL).

You can't do DOS in Visual C++ Express!

You are probably talking about a command line window. That's not DOS!
You are off-topic here.

Then post your question to a newsgroup that discusses that compiler. Read
the FAQ for this newsgroup.

Yes, you can. You can use Visual C++ Express to write a DOS clone, no
problem.

What you can't do is Visual C++ Express in DOS. And Visual C++ Express does
not allow you to target DOS directly. (Obviously, you could use it to write
a *program* that generates a 16-bit executable! But Visual C++ won't do it
itself.)

You are probably talking about a command line window.

Ah, now you have me. Yes, probably he is...

That's not DOS!

....and probably it isn't. (It might be - he could be running a DOS
emulator...)

You are off-topic here.

....and here!

You can use ANSI escape sequence codes

Only if you're using an ANSI-compatible terminal or emulator.

That's the way I do it, and it's programming-language independent.
If the "escape" characters make it -- the FIRST line should be
^[ (as one character) followed by [2J and so on -- you can TYPE
the following stuff (between the "cut here" lines) to see what
ANSI can do for you. (And if the escape characters do NOT make
it, let me know and I'll substitute some character that WILL
make it through and you can re-substitute back to the escapes.)

Please don't snip attribution lines. I learnt the meaning/reason from
Keith Thompson once.
