[Coco] WinCMOC and conio.h (attn: Pierre Sarrazin)

[John Murphy]

WinCMOC was not created by Pierre.
It is an abandoned 3rd party project that was based on but different from CMOC
And it is pretty out of date compared to CMOC.

If you figure out how to build WinCMOC from source, let us know.

Subject: [Coco] WinCMOC and conio.h (attn: Pierre Sarrazin)

Hello folks,

I have been teaching an LLM A.I. the structure and libraries related to
CMOC. I've taught it a great deal and hope to use it to assist in coding.
As I was looking for additional libraries to train it, I ended up on
SourceForge and noticed the WinCMOC project. This is a port of the CMOC
compiler for Windows written by Pierre Sarrazin.

I'm a super C language newbie, and coming from PASCAL (at the height of my
programming days using a VAX.)

I noticed many graphics C programs in the repositories of WinCMOC and many
of them referenced "conio.h". So I had to google it and found "The conio.h
is a header file that contains utility functions to perform input and
output operations to the console from the C program. This header file is
mostly used by MS-DOS compilers like Turbo C."

My best understanding is that conio.h was ported to the CoCo and many of
the C examples in WinCMOC take advantage of it for graphics, I/O, etc,

Can anyone shed some light on this? CMOC has the libraries Bgraph, BSound,
and BControl but conio.h looks to be very interesting.

Thanks and again, I'm a C newbie so please use simple English. LOL

Carlos Camacho
