If you are porting a program using Turbo C(BCC) graphics functions to djgpp, 
it is *much* simpler to use BCC2GRX library since it provides very good 
compatibility with TCC graphics functions.  It can be found on omnigate.
(djgpp/pub/bccgrx??.zip)
BCC2GRX needs LIBGRX library.  The current versions are BCC2GRX 1.1 and LIBGRX 
1.02, but BCC2GRX 1.2 and LIBGRX 1.03 are expected fairly soon.
