[Dev-C++] Need Help - Clear Screen

[<aj...@ho...>]

Uhh yeah...first mail; I'm not sure if this is the right place to send 
stuff.  I'm fairly new to pcs and C++.  Anyhow, I'm trying to make a 
little *game* for dos and I am forced to use these two a lot; 
system("cls"); is incredibly slow; it takes like 3 seconds to clear the 
screen.  I've heard of alternative methods, but I've never managed to 
get one to work -- I've tried things like adding conio.h and clscr(); 
but it won't compile under dev c++ and since I have very little 
experience with pcs, I have no idea how to configure it even with 
instructions.  If someone has an alternative method (with no 
configuration) or can provide me with step by step instructions, it 
would be very helpful (I'm using win98).
