You didn't say which "C++" you were referring to but none of these functions
are defined by either C++ or ANSI C.  They weren't defined by K&R C either
for that matter.  These are DOS specific extensions and different compilers
call them different things.  Trying to write serial output to the address
you gave on my Sun wouldn't make it very happy (grin).  -- Larry
