Re: [Dev-C++] Setting text colour

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

No, of course we know how to set colors for text output. It's just that
there is no STANDARD library functions for doing it. The conio package is
definitely not standard, so you can't just move your code to another
compiler and/or operating system and expect it to work.

We can hardly avoid knowing about the conio package since this list has
questions about it every 2-4 weeks.
