I just downloaded the bcc2grx package today, and I've had a slight
problem.  Outtextxy won't seem to work at all whenever I run my program.
The test simply doesn't show up on the screen. Anyway, here is a listing:

#include <libbcc.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void initialize(void)
 {
  int gdriver = DETECT, gmode, errorcode;
  initgraph(&gdriver, &gmode, "");
  errorcode = graphresult();
  if (errorcode != grOk)  /* an error occurred */
   {
    printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));
    printf("Press any key to halt:");
    getch();
    exit(1);             /* return with error code */
   }
  }

void main(void)
 {
   initialize();
   settextstyle(DEFAULT_FONT, HORIZ_DIR, 1); 
   setfillstyle(SOLID_FILL, LIGHTGRAY);
   bar(0, 0, 639, 20);
   setcolor(WHITE);
   line(0, 20, 0, 0);
   line(0, 0, 639, 0);
   setcolor(DARKGRAY);
   line(639, 0, 639, 20);
   line(0, 20, 639, 20);
   setcolor(BLUE);
   outtextxy(5, 5, "File"); /*won't do anything */
   outtextxy(30, 30, "JKHFDD"); /* Again, nothing */
   getch();
   clearviewport();
   closegraph();
 }

The program works perfectly when compiled under Borland C++ 3.1.  Please
post here or e-mail me if you know what's wrong, or I might have to return
to 16-bit real mode!
