Well, if you want to use these extra include files, your program may
very well become non-portable. The only things which are guaranteed
portable are the ones which ANSI defines. There's a lot of stuff there
to do all kinds of fancy programming. In /usr/src/linux/include, you'll
find stuff which is mostly of interest to people writing device drivers
or writing ioctls that push device drivers, most of which already
exist. Most of the rest are development headers for the libraries/tools
you have installed, e.g. /usr/include/netinet contains the headers
included by programs that use the BSD sockets library.

Find and install curses/ncurses. It provides nearly all of the
functionality you expect from TC's conio.h functions. Be sure to read
the documentation for this library carefully, free yourself from the
PC-isms you seem to still have... :-)
