Yes. They're strictly for RSXNTDJ only. Actually, if memory serves me
well, they're no longer needed in current versions of RSXNTDJ, either.
I.e. you might be having an outdated version, there.

Not easily. Using two graphics libraries in one and the same program
is likely not going to work. Both assume that the state of the
graphical display is controlled by their routines, alone.  Mixing
routines from both libraries cannot work.

For a given program, you have to select one of the libraries, and
stick with that.
