IMHO, it is very good.  If I'm not mistaken, the library is a super-set of
the Turbo C library.  For $10 you can get the library source like I did
and find out how printf, malloc, etc. work.  It has routines for DOS, I/O,
graphics, TSR's, and more.  You could at one time get the "C Window's
Toolkit" from Magna Charta software for $30 (regular > $100).  It does
windows and fast screen I/O.  In summary: It works for me!  :)  -kef/MM-
