You gotta read all the instructions, J.  Borland tells you to use the
INSTALL program for a good reason.  Those *.BGI drivers are buried in
some of the compressed files on your distribution disks.  You cannot
install TURBO C 2.0 just by using COPY *.*.  Pardon this interruption
for a machine-specific question, fellow netters.

Now back to main-stream C!
