As others have pointed out this is DOS/Windows specific, not
included anywhere but MS compiling environments. I have seen it with
Borland's compilers several years ago.
BUT somewhere in my motley history I have seen a Linux replacement
for the conio library. The downside is that the library was not
complete. If I needed this I would certainly search the web before
I rewriting the code to use curses or other native Linux libraries.
Hope this helps; your mileage may vary; may cause drowsiness - do
not operate machinery soon after consuming.
