I recently switched from a Turbo compiler to a Visual C++ one. A program I wrote in Turbo that compiled just fine won''t compile in Visual. There is just one problem: it has a problem with the following line: clrscr(); Does Visual not like clrscr() or am I missing some code I''m supposed to include that Turbo didn''t need? If Visual for some reason doesn''t like clrscr(), what am I supposed to use to clear the screen and move on to the next segment of text? If I don''t clear it, the screen will look very cluttered. This one''s been bothering me for a couple weeks.

I think you can use system("CLS"); instead of clrscr().

The difference between Turbo and VC is: Turbo is Dos (at least the one your describing), and VC is windows. Clrscr() ; in a text mode operation. Although it should work if you''re in a DOS mode window when you compile, there''s a fancy C++ way to do it using cout and endl but hell i like printf so dont ask me .

As long as your including stdio.h it should work fine... or was that conio.h? I think it was conio.h

Thanks guys! CLS worked. Now I can move onto other problems! ;-)
