Where did _input() go?

I am converting a old project from VC 6 to VC8, and I have run into a issue.
Specifically:
int __cdecl _input (FILE *infile, const char *format, va_list arglist );
retval = (_input(infile,format,arglist));
--The error is Error 12 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __input referenced.

I have looked on msdn for _input but come up empty.
I saw original project only used libcd.lib, but that is not in VS2005EE.
Anyone know how to get around this?
I can't seem to find any documentation for _input().

As far as I know, _input was really an internal function used inside the CRT. From a certain sourcefile, the name of this function was changed to inputfn. But why would you want to use a lower level function instead of the higher level ones available in the CRT. You are able to do everything with them that you would need.
