- You asked a question about DOS vs Windows & Turbo C++ for Windows a
- few days ago. I answered it. In my answer, I told you all about
- <conio.h> and gave you some advice about DOS & Windows programming
- Either you ignored it or you didn't bother reading the reply.
- I used my newsreader to find the article for you and I have e-mailed
- it to you. You need to read more carefully.
