[Dev-C++] system verses cin

[Samuel K. <ib...@ly...>]

One important cosideration: if you have to port your code to another OS avoid system. It is definite (unless some weird concidence occured) that you will have to change your system calls to fit the new operating system AND it isn't definite that the new OS has a function that does the same thing in the original OS. Portability is very important. If you do have to program for multiply operating systems you do not want to give yourself more work than necassary.
