Hello, I use Borland C++ 5.0. Everytime I include graphics.h, I get a compile time error which says "BGI graphics not supported on windows." How can this be?

graphics.h is a dos graphics include. In windows you use the GDI for your graphics. It's kinda fundamental for windows to function the way it does.

But I want to use graphics in dos. Yet, I get this error. What must I do?
oh you're talking about a console app. well console is not truly the same as dos. I can tell you that much. I don't know how Borland chose to handle that. If it is a strictly DOS compiler then I would think it would work but if it is a "console" compiler as VC++ is then you're probably stuck. Why do you want to code graphics for dos on a windows system anyway?

Yes, I think it is a console compiler. Perhaps you could give me an example of a DOS compiler, and where I can download it?
Moreover, if this version of Borland C++ is meant to run on windows, why would they supply a header file which will not run on windows?
dunno really, maybe someone else can take over here. I'm really a windows programmer and haven't done much in the way of DOS in a long time. Anyone?

When all else fails, read the instructions.
