This is part of Family API which allow to create dual-os version of program runs under OS/2 and DOS
Note: This is legacy API call. It is recommended to use 32-bit equivalent
This call writes a string of character-attribute pairs (cells) to the display.
VioWrtCellStr (CellStr, Length, Row, Column, VioHandle)
rc (USHORT) - return
Return code descriptions are:
If a string write gets to the end of the line and is not complete, the string write continues at the beginning of the next line. If the write gets to the end of the screen, the write terminates.
Write a character-attribute string to the Advanced VIO presentation space. The caller must specify the starting location on the presentation space where the string is to be written.
