gcc compiler does not redognize 'conio.h'

[Gilles Lamoureux]

The gcc compiler I have with Linux RH 6.0 doesn't recognize conio.h, keeping
me from
compiling some study programs I am covering.

Any suggestions on what may be the problem. Th compiler is version egcs
2.91.66.

"conio.h" is a DOS header for console apps.
It doesn't exist in Linux.
Similar capabilities are provided by ncurses; `man ncurses'
for more details.

Go to http://freshmeat.net
and search for uconio. It is Unix conio compatible conio.
It may not be 100% compatable but may let you compile your homework.

Hello:
conio.h is a Borland-specific library. It is not a part of the ANSI/ISO C++
Standard, which is implemented by the GNU Compiler Collection. But, you can
get a Unix version of the library separately, by searching www.freshmeat.net
for uconio.

More inportantly, conio.h is a Microsoft kludge
and you should not use it if you are trying to compile
for unix or unix-like systems.
