 The following program WITHOUT The line #include <conio.h> does not 
 work.  It just freezes the entire system up, and I have to reboot (usin TC++  
1.0 on a PC).  However, when I put the #include <conio.h>> line in, it  
doesn't even compile.  I get LValue required in function main, and it  point  
to the line c = 0;

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <conio.h>

 main()
 {
    int i, test, c[25];

    i = 0;
    c = 0;

    while ((i < 25) || (test !='A')) {
 	   test = getch();
 	   c[i++] = test;
 	   }
    printf("\n\n   %s", c);
    return 0;
 }

 Any insight...?

--------------------------------
I get the same result (Lvalue required) with or without includeing conio.h.  
I'm using TC++ 1.01, so that may be the reasong for differing results.  But I 
don't see how you can be getting the above to compile in any case.  If you 
want to assign zero to each element of an array you have to do just that.
