I second the motion.  The Borland graphics routines are based around the
EGA.  I was suprised that the extensive library of graphics included with
Turbo C 2.0 did not include significant support for VGA.  VGA has been
the "standard" (if there is one) for 1.5 years now; Borland should let us
use it fully.  I want a nice way to use my 256K colors on the screen at
once.  (Unfortunately my eye can only discern a few hundred, but heck, I
want 'em all).

I also want an integrated environment editor that gracefully allows the
use of 43 or more lines, 120 or 132 columns.  VGA is here, Borland!
