Curses on unix :)

[VBMan]

Someone please tell me how to clear the screen on a unix box in C. I'm trying to write a menuing program that clears the screen when you choose different stuff. Curses isn't the only thing i'll use its just what i've been trying. This DOESN'T work so... someone enlighten me.

/* This does not work */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>

main(){
initscr();
erase();
printf(&quot;I'm on a clean screen \n&quot;
}





Thanks,
Ben

friend i also tried curses but there is some
problem with the header and library in solaris forte c++

if you want to clear the screan using unix utility
do this

#include<stdlib.h>

main()
{
system(&quot;clear&quot;//this clears the screan


//your code
}

see if it helps
