...Then, of course, Borland Turbo C 1.5 has a _real_ nice set of graphics
functions which support CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules, and some other stuff as
well, and even an autosensing function that determines what kind of adapter
you have.  With a little care, you can write software that will run on
any of these interchangeably.

Seems to me I read something about it being possible to link MS and
Borland libraries into the same program.  I would be interested in knowing
more about this too, since I am using both compilers (but haven't tried
this yet myself).
