BOING! Wrong mailinglist. However...

M$ uses (AFAIK, never tried personally) some proprietary non-standard
graphics API (/library). You can not compile code using M$
libraries directly with djgpp/gcc. And you *shouldn't* /ever/ use M$ gfx
libraries anyway.

If you want do graphics with djgpp, I think you should use Allegro.
(http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/index.html).
(Again AFAIK; I don't have djgpp nor have I used it ever. Fine compiler
for DOS, but I prefer Linux :)

Shouldn't that be hotmail? I'll send this mail to both...

Generally, I wonder how there are so many offtopic mails on this mailing
list? It doesn't matter me since the volume is so low anyway, but I just
wonder...
