I just compiled your small program on MSC 6.00 without a problem.
I also tried to compile without specifying GRAPHICS.LIB on the command
line. I received an "unresolved external __outtext" error. The only thing that
I can think of would be a different LINK.EXE somewhere out there on your
system. Dos comes with one. MSC SDK, QBasic or maybe an older version
of MSC (I kept 5.0 on my system until I was sure all my programs ran on
6.00). Check your path for LINK.EXE. Use some sort of locate or whereis
type program which will find it.
