First, upgrade at www.cygwin.com.  B20 is very old and you'll find very 
little support for it.  conio.h and dos.h are exactly what they sound like,
non-standard DOS oriented include files.  They aren't supported by Cygwin
(or any tools supporting portable code).  Best that you change the code to 
remove the reliance on these include files.

No but if you don't need the POSIX API of the Cygwin environment, you can 
use the -mno-cygwin switch or work with the mingw development suite 
(www.mingw.org)

I've never done it but I expect you could do it with termcap or ncurses 
calls.  Check out these packages and their documentation if you're 
interested.  Alternatively, you could just invoke the shell "clear" command
directly via the system() call.


>I would REALLY apreciate any and all help thanks guys!:)


You're welcome.  You would probably benefit by reading some of the 
available documentation about the compiler tools and other facilities 
Cygwin provides.  There are also some good related sites with some real
helpful information.  All of these goodies are just a click away at
www.cygwin.com!:-)  Enjoy!
