DOS drawing header files in Visual C++ needed...

[MrElusive]

Does anyone know the header files needed for drawing basic stuff in Visual C++? Yeah, um I'm failing this at school because I hate it so I need some practice! We use Borland at school and I tried the <graphics.h> header file and it's not existent with Visual. Someone help me out.

You mean VGA card drawing library like I used to use in VC++ 1.5 16-bit apps 7 years ago? Or some text-based llibrary like unix offers? Sorry, it's been 11 years since I last used Borland C++ or Turbo Pascal

Who uses DOS for graphics anymore?

Visual C++ has not supported DOS at all for several versions now so the drawing header files you are looking for are nonexistant. Sorry.

The new versions of Borland C++ have not had dos support for many moons either.

I presume you are using Ye Olde Borland C++ 4.5/5.0 at school? Just pirate a copy from them. Borland won't give a damn about an ancient product like this.

Or you could try one of those free DOS compilers that are out there now like DJGPP .
