The object format is different. In the MGL graphics package there is
an object format conversion tool that converts from Borland to DJGPP.
You may want to download the relevant files from
http://www.scitechsoft.com/ and see if they can do the job. My guess
is that you may be better trying to find an equivalent library that is
available for DJGPP. You may want to search the past newsgrous
listings at www.delorie.com for similar questions.

What do the libraries do? 


Regards.
Andrew
