Well, the trouble is that all those things are DOS related, and do not
exist as such in the Wonderful world of Windows.
As for graphics, alternatives are using DirectX or OpenGL under Windows.
Otherwise, use the DOS compiler. My VGA and SVGA programs contain a number
of packages showing you how to do this sort of thing. Note that the DOS
compiler runs happily in a windows dos box, and so do its programs.
As I do not have the web space to put it up, I'll mail you the latest
version of my SVGA (vbe 1.2/2.0) graphics package for DOS.
Jerry.
