Carl, I would suggest throwing whatever book you are using to learn C++
away and high tail it over to Amazon for a new one. It is not just
that the fact that it uses conio.h implies a strong DOS bias that you
will have to sort out, it is worse than that, you are learning a dead
dialect of C++. I leaned C++ on DOS back in the day and it is a far
cry from the modern version of C++ that is in use today. If in fact
you are learning from resources that old you are only doing a
disservice to yourself and setting yourself up for a lot of frustration
and confusion.
Good Luck,
-Eric
