There is a library called BCC2GRX which acts as a shim between Borland's BGI
graphics and the LIBGRX graphics package for DJGPP. (both in v2tk) With
that, and a few #ifdef's, you can program all your graphics like BGI. Also,
I think you can use LIBGRX from Borland C also, but its API is IMHO
extremely complicated.
