Hi,
I have an old DOS program which I compiled years ago by Turbo C++, and I need to transform this program into a 32-bit console application using C++ Builder 6.0.
The program uses intensively functions from conio.h
and bios.h. While conio.h is now available in 32-bit version, the functions such as bioskey() from bios.h, and
coreleft() from alloc.h are not supported any more. My question is: is there any way to emulate bioskey() and coreleft() by using other functions available in conio.h, such as for example,
kbhit() and getch() ?
