This is the documentation of cc65's GEOSLib, but information contained here may be also
useful for writting GEOS applications in general.

It is safe to use these includes: <tt/dio.h, errno.h, geos.h, joystick.h, mouse.h, stdlib.h,

<tt/conio/ - simple console input-output is available for command line applications. Note that
unlikely other platforms this implementation does not provide fullscreen capabilities, e.g.
you are on your own with checking last row and scrolling screen up etc. Color, line drawing and
clearing functions are disabled because color is not supported and line drawing art can be
easily done with graphics functions. Please note that a variable width font (to be specific:
current font, so you can load any font you like) is used so <tt/wherex, gotox/ family functions
will not always return the same values. In fact <tt/gotoxy/ sets current position to the place
you would expect on a normal 40x25 screen, not a position that would regard current font's
height. Both 40 and 80 columns modes are supported.

Think twice before you use standard C library function. In current implementation almost always
you will get better code using only <tt/geos.h/. This will change in next releases as standard
functions will become wrappers to native GEOS Kernal.
