Hello fellow programmers... I am building an operating system(good luck to me ). It'll be built on top of DOS, it'll be multi-tasking/multi-threaded. It will also be a Grapical User Interface(GUI). It will have dialogs(windows), and a virtual desktop(details later).

For now, I am using an older compiler C compiler that does not have an outtextxy(); function. I created one to find it wasn't VESA compatible(My OS uses VESA for graphics for compatibility).

Does ANYONE here know how to create a function that outputs a string at a given x,y point? It should be compatible with VESA. Please refer to www.vesa.org for VESA specs.

I thank whoever replies.
