C3861 error using Visual C++ 2005

Hi,

I was trying to program a C code using Visual C++ which basically saves an area on the screen to a buffer. However, when I tried to Build the code, I got the following error

message: "error C3861:clrscr identifier not found."

Is it possible that Visual C++ does not support DOS graphics functions

Your prompt help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sami

    It would appear not, it would appear that function is specific to Borland compilers ( at least that's what google told me ). Certainly, the Microsoft site does not mention that function, which is obviously non-standard.
