[Dev-C++] clrscr() and c99 compatibility

[Matthews <dem...@uw...>]

I recently downloaded the new dev-c++ beta version, and am a bit stuck.
Looking through the included header files, I found a prototype for the
clrscr() function in conio.h, but trying to use clrscr() resulted in a
linker error.  What header do I need to include to use clrscr()?

Also, I believe dev-c++ to be C99 compatible, but how come when I tried to
declare "char choice" halfway down a function, it gave me a parsing error?
C99 was supposed to allow variable declarations anywhere in the code.

Thanks.

Unfortunately dev-c++ uses an old version of mingw, You can 
download mingw 2.0 from www.mingw.com . Instead of conio.h
put conio.c , maybe that's not a good way but simply it works.

conio are files that have change between releases of mingw, first I got
perfect use of its function, then I upgraded to mingw1.1 and it lost
functionality, and now in mingw2.0.0 it seems fewer (just now I see at it=
 and
it no defines clrscr), it has only the .h file, and it lost the .c file, =
so I
copied the two files from the conio which came with Dev-C++ 4.0 and I use
them.
