clrscr()

[craig_phillips2]

why is it that in some versions of conio.h, there is the clrscr() function. I notice that borland c++ has this in the conio.h header file but ms visual c++ doesnt. I dont actually have my copy of borland anymore, so is there anybody that can tell me how to clear the screen, or anybody that can send me the version of conio.h with the function built in.

the code below clears the screen:
system("cls");

what header do i need to include in order to get system() to work? I see its known to visual C++ because it displays the tool tip text for the function. However, it fails to compile.

clrscr is not included in all versions of C++, because it's not part of the ANSI C++ standard
