Lirbaries for full-screen formatted output on text consoles are not part of the standard language for either C or C++, nor are libraries for GUI construction. For text consoles, the Unix/Linux standard is ncurses. The OP's choices are: (1) Stick to standard, non-full-screen stream output. Delete the #include for conio.h and any calls to functions declared there. (2) Learn ncurses and replace conio functions with ncurses functions. (3) Choose a GUI library (e.g., GNOME or QT or TCL/TK) and learn it. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
