Hi,
I write actually a program under MS-DOS with RHIDE.
I went to a computering club and I aks some question about the function
fflush.
They told me that it doesn't work on MS-DOS or Windows environment but linux
yes. I start to believe in it when I tried to flush my buffer when I wanted
to use scanf function. If I put something wrong or something too big, the
buffer still have some datas inside, even with a fflush(stdin), then of
course the programs goes down.
So my question is very simple :
Do I use the fflush function in a wrong way ? (I'm a bit newbye)
Or MS-DOS does not suport this kind of function ?
I didn't try on linux OS.

Any help and any comments will be very appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Florent.
