It is possible to link the BGI driver in with the executable code (EXE file), 
by:
  o  Using the BGIOBJ utility to create an OBJ verion of the BGI driver
  o  LINKing the OBJ BGI driver with your code OBJ file
  o  Doing either a 'registerbgidriver()' or 'registerfarbgidriver()' function
     call before the 'initgraph()' call.

(Consult your manual for further info--though I got this from the Waite Group's
Turbo C++ Bible -- these functions work in TC2.0 as well).

Part II:

  if(a=b) { 
            ... }

 has legitimate use.  This is a non-atomic slightly modified TestAndSet.
