    I want my conio.h!

    Being a bit of a Borland person I want to be able to use functions like gotoxy (or equilvalents) under linux. Is this possible?
    Also, how can I make the gcc getch function not wait for enter to be pressed?

    conio is a DOS library (mostly)

    gotoxy() doesn't require conio.h

    and conio is not required for anything important.
    if you sill want it...
    copy conio.h into /usr/local/include (i think)
    or
    /usr/include
    Asking the right question is sometimes more important than knowing the answer.

    I believe that curses.h containes many of the conio.h function declarations.
