conio.h isn't ansi standard, and no UNIX system has it. My partner did some
light explaining to me about why it doesn't exist.. getch() and getche() for
example (which are located in it), don't work with Linux (for instance)
because a call to one of these would freeze the whole OS temporarily... You
can do assembly calls to clear the screen, or do a call to the OS for
clear.. i'm sure there are other ways around this too..
