ok well just got into C++, really got into it, and getting tired of all these undefined functions cause I dont have the needed header files.. SOOO since the compiler builds it all into the exe when compiling, would it be wise to just download tons of header files and just put in the include dir?
You should have most of the headers that'll you'll need included with your compiler.
Headers are written for a specific library so you cannot really download a load of headers and use them.
ok well does anyone have a list of the commands vc++ supports along with the header files each one uses? like why does conio.h not have clrscr anymore? what is vc++'s equivilent?
clrscr() is non-portable, as is conio.h, therefore you cannot rely on it being there.
so what should I use instead?
Well...you could use system("cls"). I wonder if anyone's ported ncurses to Windows, would be useful.
What is ncurses?
It's a terminal-control library for Unix systems. Google :)
