I was just wondering where I could find a working conio library for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

#include <conio.h>
My best code is written with the delete key.
Yeah, I'm not stupid... The one I have doesn't work properly and some parts don't work at all.
Each conio library is different. Try adrianxw's tutorial for some alternatives if certain things aren't working.
Try reinstalling.
In fact try a more modern compiler.

Ugh...Download a modern compiler: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/default.aspx

I'm working through school so it will be quite hard to use a different compiler. I can probably find a way if there is no way around it but it is quite a hassle.
Thanks for the prompt replies!
Also, if your conio is COMPLETELY broken, try google'ing for conio.h and compying that into yours.
Here is a place for downloading these headers: http://www.koders.com/c/fid990B3D848...load%2Bconio.h

Mmm - does that work?

All the more reason to stop using conio.h at all, and learn to use standard C.
By learning standard C, you make "which compiler" a non issue since your code should work on any compiler.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Change compilers. Get MinGW that can be as simple to install as peeling a banana if you download the Dev-C++ IDE.
If then you really want to use conio, you can download conio2 for MinGW from http://conio.sourceforge.net/

I feel your pain - we have to use VS 6 at University
The only conio function I've ever found any use for is getch().
Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

I'm confused...
Has Microsoft decided to give away VC 6.0 for free? If not, why do universities force students to buy it?

For the same twisted and warped logic which says they must use TurboC at other places.
Tutor Translation:
I know my code works with this compiler, and I can't be arsed to either make sure it works with other compilers, or check that the code is ANSI compatible to make the whole "which compiler" issue go away.
