#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Press Enter\n";
std::cin.get();
}
Seems to work fine for me :), any old key press won't work though,
you have to hit enter.
Whats really nice is that if I run the above from my editor that
captures the output it doesn't hang (and I don't have to hit enter),
where as the <conio.h>/getch() version does.
