I have done all the real work to make my current program work, now I want to make it "pretty" ... I am looking to make DOS style boxs, and am curious how to do it. I am running Linux, which uses a different extended ASCII set than DOS does, so how would my program temparily switch charictor sets, and switch back when done?

Also, what functionalities besides printing at x,y does conif.h(I think that is the right library) offer? Can it deterimine the size of the window that the program is run in?
