- This should really be asked in a MS-DOS or Windows newsgroup
- (comp.os.msdos.programmer or comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.misc) since this is
- a very platform (and even compiler) specific problem.

- I believe graph.h and the associated library are for doing graphics in DOS

-
- Is MSV4.0 "Visual C"? Is it a Windows-only compiler?
-
- If you want to run your programs under DOS, you will need a compiler that will
- produce DOS executables.
