    conio.h

    you want to print color text right?

    WEll here is the format
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
      
       textbackground (RED);
       cprintf ("Background ");
    
       return 0;
    }
    or
    Code:
    int main()
    {
      textcolor (LIGHTGREEN)
      cprintf ("FOREGROUND");
    return 0;
    }
    remeber use cprintf() istead of printf ...printf does work fine on new compilers for printing color text.

    my devc++ won't compile it... but turbo c does

    you can use the conio.h header with dev to

    Okay this is what you do they are two ways the first is in the dev's hepl files FAQ the other one which is not there is :-

    option-->compiler options

    where it says Add the following command when the compiler calls add this c:\dev-c++\lib\conio.o and tick the box..

    Remeber you will always have to include the conio.h file when ever you are compiling a programm if you dont whant it that way then just uncheck the box if u dont want to use it ...Peace
