With Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 (free download
from Microsoft), the attached code can be built.

Using kbhit() is also okay but the warning message says that
kbhit() is deprecated.

Regards,
Xiaofan

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main(void)
{
    float n=0;

    while (!_kbhit()) {
        printf("\r%3.0f",n++);
      }
        printf("\n");


  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;
}

The following is the supplied example code for _kbhit().
// crt_kbhit.c
// compile with: /c
/* This program loops until the user
 * presses a key. If _kbhit returns nonzero, a
 * keystroke is waiting in the buffer. The program
 * can call _getch or _getche to get the keystroke.
 */

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
   /* Display message until key is pressed. */
   while( !_kbhit() )
      _cputs( "Hit me!! " );

   /* Use _getch to throw key away. */
   printf( "\nKey struck was '%c'\n", _getch() );
}
