This is a really great list !! and thanks to all who have answered.

The code was written on NE and only compiled on the Borland TCLite IDE. The
code is still available seperately. My confussion was if there are
compatability problems of functions e.g clrscr(),etc which as someone
suggested was not a part of DGJPP.
1) Are there any libs to find equs of such functions ? 
2) My progs are very small and DGJPP seemed like an overkill. I was not
clear if going through the task of learning another sware and gettting it
to work was justified i.e to say if one was not going to do such complex
tasks as this list talks about, would one be better of with some compiler
smaller and simpler ( if there is one that is !).

I think we have the same book Author Martin Rienhart.

Thanks once again to all who take the pain to hit the reply on seeing a
Newbie subject,
