The conio functions are supported by DJGPP. You can continue to use clrscr().

I personally know very little about the construction of compilers, but FWIW...
On Simtelnet, in the `c' directory, there is a file called zcc096.zip
(version may be different). It contains an extremely minimal C compiler. Due
to its simplicity, it may be easier to understand. I believe it was
published in an article in Dr. Dobbs Journal; the article may be helpful as
well.
