This is the wrong newsgroup to ask questions about MSVC++ - you
should try a Microsoft newsgroup.

However, the reason your program won't compile is that these are
functions which are only found on DOS compilers, whereas MSVC++ 6
is a Win32 compiler.  MSVC++ 6 has no equivalents for most of
these functions, because the things they do are mostly impossible
in a Win32 console application.

Since you have chosen to post in comp.os.msdos.djgpp, perhaps I
should point out that DJGPP supports all the above-mentioned
functions.  You can get it from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ .
