It's Borlands own(and slow and useless) feature. If you want do
something "real", forget it.

The better way to do that is:

Initialize graphicsmode (13h) like this:
#include<conio.h>
textmode(0x0013);

Then draw pixels in this way:
#include<go32.h>
#include<sys/farptr.h>
_farpokeb(_dos_ds, 0xA0000+y*320+x, color);

x and y are coordinates, color is color between 1 and 256

And back to textmode(3h):
textmode(0x03);

Well, there is a finnish saying "Kukaan ei ole seppä syntyessään."
It's something like "No one is pro when born", but it sounds better in
finnish.
