On the DOS/DJGPP platform, use `ClrScr' from the `CRT' Unit of
the "BPcompat" package, available at

    ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/contrib/bpcompat.zip
    ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/contrib/bpcompat.zip

You can also try the portable `BO5' library, available at

    ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/contrib/bo5/
    ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/contrib/bo5/

`BO5' has a `Displays' Unit which implements a `ClearScreen' procedure
which does essentially the same as `ClrScr'.

We are still looking for somebody who wants to implement a portable,
Borland-compatible `CRT'.  (But our `Graph' Unit, "BGI2GRX", works on
Linux at least.:)

Hope this helps,
