    Dump that old piece of sh1t compiler and get something more up to date. You probably need to tell your linker to link with the bgigraphics library. I have no idea how to do that. Your compiler is prehistoric. You may find some info at borlands website on linking the bgi library. I seriously recommend you get a better compiler. You cannot learn c++ using a compiler made in 1992.
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi

    And...

    Because graphics are not part of the ANSI/ISO C++ standard, you have to make sure your examples are written for your particular compiler.
