bios.h and graph.h... hm.. the source code is a dos program, not a windows
program. So visual C++ 6.0 just doesn't work.
Maybe you should try Turbo C++ ver 3.0 or Microsoft C++ v7.0 (the
predecessor of Visual C++).

And what book is that? DJGPP can compile Windows 95 programs with the
RSXNTDJ package.

If that book is "Tricks of the game programming Gurus", "Teach Yourself Game
programming in 21 days" or "Black Art of 3D Game Programming", which all are
written by Andre Lamothe requires a Microsoft C++ v7.0.
