There's a graphics demo program called 'BAR.C' on of of the disks that
comes with Turbo C.  In it are functions you can study/extract to build
your own graphics routines.

I don't have my copy of Microsoft C 5.0 or QuickC yet (sent in my upgrade
check and request though).  However, this as-yet-unavailable release
has a full graphics library (unlike previous versions of Microsoft C).
Would any of you Microsoft C 5.0 beta-testers be willing to comment on
this new library?
