Hi Lars,
> I guess the routine CALL System does not work?
Hmmm, maybe.
There is no "cls" application, nor "dir" application. Both of those are
cooked into the CMD.EXE shell.
>BTW: clear is a unix-command. Can it work in a dos-shell with cygwin?
I presumed your shell was the CygWin bash shell, since you mentioned
CygWin. Since clear (or more appropriately, clear.exe in CygWin) is an
application, I was hoping it'd work in this situation. But alas.
I am surprised that the X3.64 "ESC [ 2 J" sequence didn't work. The
console you must be working with must not be "ANSI.SYS" savvy. Alas and alack!
Hmmm, I'm not a FORTRAN guy, so I don't have any more tricks up my sleeve
that'd be appropriate. (Unless there's an NCurses analog for FORTRAN...)
Sorry,
