The library is designed for simple output in text console. Imagine that you want to write to console window at position (10, 10) text "Hello" in a yellow color on a blue background. With CONIO2 you can do this with the C++ code:
cout << setxy(10, 10) << setclr(YELLOW) << setbk(BLUE) << "Hello";
Conio comes bundled with MingW, but does not support C++. Quincy includes the additional "conio2" library with console I/O using streams.
The constream_test.cpp example uses conio2. Examine it and build it with Quincy.
