Hi everyone!
Does anyone know, if it is possible to clear the screen in ANSI C?
If it is,then how?
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know about ANSI ... but in the *nix world most shell programs
emulate the VT100 ... the following program will clear the screen.

#include <stdio.h>

char s[] = {27, '[', '2', 'J', 0};

int main(void)
{
printf("%s", s);
}

A list of some commands is here:

Searching by VT100 will turn up more.
