For random numbers, there is rand(). For everything else, ask in a Linux
group such as comp.os.linux.development.apps

Hello, does anybody know of a web site or FAQ or documents or something
easy to understand where I could find out how to use simple text mode
functions in c++ or c in Linux. Functions like clearing the screen,
doing random numbers, changing text colour, moving the cursor to a spot
by giving co-ordinates, like pascals "gotoxy(34,56)". I just need some
easy to understand instructions, I am just learning the language and
want to expirment with it. They would have to be Linux specific too.

Thanks, -Alan
