So what should one do instead?  Lirbaries for full-screen formatted output
on text consoles are not part of the standard language for either C or
C++, nor are libraries for GUI construction.  For text consoles, the
Unix/Linux standard is ncurses.

The OP's choices are:

(1) Stick to standard, non-full-screen stream output.  Delete the #include
for conio.h and any calls to functions declared there.

(2) Learn ncurses and replace conio functions with ncurses functions.

(3) Choose a GUI library (e.g., GNOME or QT or TCL/TK) and learn it.
