I recommend the Halo graphics library.  I use the version intended for
Microsoft C.  It works fine, even though I compile my programs with
Turbo C.  You can get a copy of Halo from anyone who sells software.
With each copy you buy, you can use one compiler, i.e. Microsoft or
Lattice or Aztec, and support for ALL boards made for the IBM PC,
e.g. EGA, Hercules, Targa, Number Nine, etc.

The library is quite complete and flexible, although not necessarily
fast.  Diagnostics are near nonexistant but once I got used to the
odd calling style, I got to like it.

I will send info on how I link my Turbo C programs and Halo libraries
to anyone interested.
