Hello friends,
I have devoloped a sudoku game using cpp. Please evaluate this
code. I have used Borland Turbo cpp 3.0 compiler and hence it is windows based and 16 bit.I know iI should shift to more advanced and open source devolopement enviornments, and I am going to do just that.
But it would be very nice of you to overlook this drawback and give me your suggestions on the logic in the code. I would also like to know about open source graphics libraries.

One more thing, initialy i wanted to code this thing using c language. But I couldn't use clock_t in 'c'.
Hence i changed it to 'cpp' just for that. As a result you may see printf and scanf used in 'cpp' coding.
Though it is not advisable, I can't help it as it is very time consuming to change it, now that the code has gone on to 800 lines.

sorry if that was corrupted file.
Due to the size of the code i posted the archive. Be it then, let me post the whole code.
I have done many improvements on the code now. i.e. its solver gives average time for solution of any problem as 9 milli seconds or less. (I calculated average time by solving the same problem 100000 times and taking mean of the time!). And once it has solved worlds hardest sudoku puzzle (google if you want the puzzle), in 3 milliseconds. configuration:p4 256RAM

lol really. And thats certainly true. I have tried it many times and it DOES get corrupted.
I have said it once. I say it again. Please convert this to a ISO C++ compatible program.

I know, but it is not really a simple thing to change whole graphics in it using some new graphics library.
I am planning to do this in java. Lets see how it goes.
One more thing, if you run the program on instructions option you will see nothing. So if you create a text file ins.txt and write instructions you will see those instructions. My file is like this:

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To move the cursor use arrow keys.

2. Use 'delete' key to delete entry.

3. Use 'm' to mark entries for trial and error method.

4. Use 'u' to unmark entries.

5. Use 'h' for hint.

6. For every hint '40 seconds' are added to the time.

7. Use 'Esc' to quit.
