Hi,
In fact (but I may be wrong), you were a Borland user. In fact,
graphics.h is specific to Borland. You should use another graphic
library, such as Allegro. This library is free, and you can download it
:
http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/

Sorry, but with this library, you ll have to modify your code to make it
work, but it is worth doing it.

There may be a port of the borland graphic library for DJGPP, but i may
be wrong.

I would be happy if it helps
