hi all... i am new to everything here.. (new to linux, new to programming ...)

i have a source code which come with the conio.h header file... i could not compile it...

I have been reading about this... someone suggest the use of "ncurses" instead. but how to convert my source to that???

Anyone can help?

hi,
termio i think is a borland wrapper on some windows.h junk
so you will just have to figure out what you are trying to do and use whatever you need to do it.
you won't be able to easily port that code over to anything similar.
there is a header termio.h that might help
just go to /usr/include and have a look around

conio.h contains a lot of information. What, specifically, are you using conio.h for in your program? Just concentrate on finding a replacement for that one thing instead of the entire header file.

Yup i think itsme86 have suggested the best solution. You just pick out the functions of conio.h that are used in your program and then write them or use an alternative. Like if you want to use clrscr() function to clear screen you can simply write your own like.

#include <unistd.h>

void clrscr()
{
system("clear");
}

So pick the odd one out
