what compiler are we using ? And why are we mixing C functions with c++ code? If you are going to write are c++ program then do so. Yea I know c++ language supports those c functions but its a lot better style to use all c++.

we're using the old dos compiler. this is our project. and were having difficulty in that part. about that print thinggy coz we wrenot taught bout that

your old DOS compiler probably supports stdprn, just as it does stdin, stdout and stderr. If so, then just print to stdprn

fprintf(stdprn,"Hello World\n");

But your compiler can not access network printers -- the printer must be on LPT1.

thanks alot.
