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.

Compiles clean for me.  Check your compiler switches.
