Well, let's see.  Turbo C supports CGA, HGA, AT&T, EGA, and VGA.  It
does lines, circles (and you can set the aspect ratio to make sure your
circles are circular), and rectangles. It can fill bars (rectangles),
3-D bars, polygons, pie slices (including circles), and "bounded
regions" (floodfill).  You can pick your colors, so "reverse drawing"
would seem be covered.  (Unless you meant drawing in "XOR-ink", which
it can only do while bitblt'ing with putimage.)

What's your beef?
