One peculiarity with Borland C++ 5.0 is that a program's output can disappear before the user has had a chance to read it.  For a way of getting around this problem see framework.cpp.

Note to students using Microsoft Visual C++:

You can get around the fact the "clrscr" is not available in this environment by writing it yourself.
Mathieu Lafrance reports that the following will work.  It's a dog's breakfast, but you don't have
to understand it to use it.  Thank you,  Mathieu.
 

#include <windows.h>

void clrscr() {

  HANDLE hStdOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
  COORD coord = {0, 0};
  DWORD count;

  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
  GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdOut, &csbi);
  FillConsoleOutputCharacter(hStdOut, ' ', csbi.dwSize.X * csbi.dwSize.Y, coord, &count);
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hStdOut, coord);

}
