Title: conio.h include file
Post by: David L Morris on December 01, 2010, 05:40:17 AM
Are there any views on using this file for console development?  I notice that it is a Private #include file and is [not standard C].  It seems simple enough to use and performs the functions very quickly.

In my view, if it's there... use it.

The only time it might be problematic is if you are sharing your source code with someone using a different compiler or OS.

Thanks - I think you are right.  Are there any good examples for review? I am looking at some form "Input via screen format files" code in a 1985 publication "The C Compendium by David Lawrence and Mark England".  It is just an exercise in revisiting old methods of doing stuff.
