Beginner's use of system("pause");

[Paul McKenzie]

My gripe is that people say "Don't use system("pause"), it's bad" but there is no real portable equivalent. I think the "best" implementation for pause is the one that has a different implementation per system.

There is a CodeGuru article written a couple of years ago that discusses this, and shows a pause() function equivalent that is safer to use. Don't have the URL link handy.
