All the world is not Borland, nor should you assume so.  DJGPP has
several graphics libraries which offer equivalent or better graphics
performance than the outdated Borland Graphics Interface.  You can try
GRX, which is fairly similar to BGI, or you can go all out and get
Allegro, a complete graphics/sound/game programming library.  Both are
available from the same place you got DJGPP.

Code written for Borland can be ported to DJGPP using the bccgrx20.zip
package; this allows most BGI code to work with GRX.  It resides in the
same place as GRX.
