Two years ago, I used the conio.h (actually conio2.h for Dev-C++) to create a console form interface. Now I want to make the same thing, but C++ std lib does not provide the needed functions and I don't want to use the old C conio lib. I found some websites which highlights the constream lib, but I have no idea to use it on VS! I tried just copying the header file into my project, but VS show several erros. I believe I am doing something wrong. ps: i got this file: ftp://ftp.cs.technion.ac.il/pub/misc/baram/TC31/INCLUDE/CONSTREA.H
