So all that are declered under conio.h are system calls of DOS? I had an initial thought that conio.h is for console I/O kind of stuffs; ya getch() is declered there only.

Is getch() really a system call in DOS?

Cause I could not find the name of that syscall in my ancient DOS manuals; Are you referring to the C function from stdlib?... Not that it matters but I just want to know. Smilie

I don't mean that getch is literally a dos system call, just that it depends on one. conio.h is a library of routines for using the DOS console.
