-
- No, I think it's a Zortech (now Symantec) header file. It's probably
- their screen functions so you may be able to do what you want with
- Borland's <conio.h> functions. If you have TC++/BC++ 3.0+ take a look
- at their <constrea.h> class constream.
-
- >Is there a "stream.hpp" ???
-
- It's Zortech's C++ streams header. Instead use the standard
- <iostream.h> header. Note, your code was probably compiled with the
- older version of C++ streams (Zortech didn't support "C++ 2.0 streams"
- until their 3.0) so you may need to do some code changes. See
- Stroustrup's _C++ Prog.Lang. 2nd Ed_ or Lippman's _C++ Primer 2nd Ed_
- to learn about modern streams.
-
- >What does "*.hpp" stand for ???
-
- Some C++ programmers use this extension instead of ".h" for their
- header files. See the c.l.c++ FAQ (ftp sun.soe.clarkson.edu,
- pub/C++/FAQ). I just use ".h" since there's not much reason to use a
- different extension (you don't 'make' .h files) and I think most C++
- programmers do also. ANSI C++ will probably use ".h" for any standard
- C++ headers they introduce (confirmation?).
-
- >What is Dr. Dobbs ???
-
- _Dr. Dobb's Journal_ published by M&T. Very good, not too serious,
- general programming magazine leaning towards C (some C++) and PC
- programming. I subscribe to it because I really like the
- personalities and policies of the editor and columnists. You should
- be able to find it at any bookstore (B.Dalton) in the computer mag
- section. All DDJ code is available in the DDJMAG directory at Simtel.
- See the comp.os.msdos.programmer FAQ if you don't know about Simtel.

- >What/which publication(s) does Al Stevens write for ???
-
- For at least DDJ. He's writing the free D-Flat user-interface library
- (supports MS-DOS character mode now) and soon to be writing about the
- C++ version D-Flat++. Haven't really looked at it, though. Anyone
- know if he or others are planning on porting it to other GUIs? That
- would be great.
