    OK, so the title says it - i'd like to know something about this.

    First, do I understand correctly that "Pseudographics" is just using special characters to draw the craphics (like =========== would be the top border of a window)? If not, then please elaborate?

    Second, if the above was correct, then would I need to output the special characters by using some weird function which can output these special characters from the unicode table (sonething like getChar(34235)...)?

    thanks!

    Ok, so pseudographics is basically graphics which is created by using characters, like the already mentioned equal sign (see ASCII art, for instance). DOS used pseudograph. to create a GUI...
