Hello, $Bill:
Sorry to say this: the second way you mentioned does not work:
> 2) compile this into clear.exe or
cls.exe:
> #include <stdio.h>
> int main () {
printf("033[2J"); }
Here is an example that will work ( use g++ -o cls cls.cpp ):
[cls.cpp]
#include <iostream.h>
int main () {
char a = 27u;
cout << a << "[2J";
return 0;
}
And I am sure that you can figure out several ways to do this in pure C in order to generate a more compact binary executable file.
Sincerely,
Wei Ku

Here's three things you can try:
1) alias cls='echo -n
^[[2J' # the
^[ is an esc (in vi I use ^V followed by
# ^[ where ^ is holding down the cntrl key)
2) compile this into clear.exe or cls.exe:
#include <stdio.h>
int main () {
printf("033[2J"); }
3) alias cls='cat ~/.cls'
where .cls contains just these 4
chars with no \n or spaces (ESC [ 2 J)
HTH,
