First of all, don't post both to djgpp AT delorie DOT com and to
comp.os.msdos.djgpp. It shows up as two articles.

Second, you have two options:
1. graphics.h seems to be from Borland's tools. Use
BCC2GRX to port your graphics code to the GRX graphics
library.

2. The recommended option is to port your graphics code to
a more portable library, namely Allegro.

allegro.h replaces graphics.h; it's really easy to port code
from graphics.h to Allegro. And Allegro programs will easily
recompile to Win32 or Linux. To see an example of what
can be done with Allegro, download DOSArena at the
link below.
