Help needed using C's conio.h functions.

[Polver]

I believe that the functions in the conio.h file are not meant to be used
in windows applications. The conio.h stuff is just for DOS. Or something
like that.

You asked a question about DOS vs Windows & Turbo C++ for Windows a
few days ago. I answered it. In my answer, I told you all about
<conio.h> and gave you some advice about DOS & Windows programming
Either you ignored it or you didn't bother reading the reply.
I used my newsreader to find the article for you and I have e-mailed
it to you. You need to read more carefully.
