I had a single reply to my query about use of Borland conio.h functions
with gcc, but my copy of gcc does not have this in its libraries, nor
does any of the copies that I have looked at on various archives

Who does have this in their library, and can they upload it to clarkson,
so that we can all benefit?

Since there seems to be no support for bios.h, I suppose that I'd better
do that myself :-)
