Read chapter 9.4 of the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list.  You're
mixing stdio and conio functions, which is never guaranteed to work as
expected.  The fact that it does on Turbo C is a coincidence.

For a quick and dirty solution, insert fflush(stdout) after every stdio
output call that is followed by a conio function.
