 graphics.h with Visual C++

I have been given an assignment for my C class to use graphics.h to draw
some rectangles for a program. When I tried to do this using Microsoft's
Visual C++ 5.0, graphics.h was not included with the software. Is it
possible to get this, or is this an impossible task? I would appreciate any

 graphics.h with Visual C++

because of the non-standard nature of a header such as graphics.h
some ppl in this group will jump all over you for asking about it in here
i have vc5, but i JUST got it--so i can't help you
but i think there's a group like
microsoft.programs.compilers.vc or something
whom i'm sure could answer your question
personally i use the philosophy
"if it isn't in ANSI, don't ask it in comp.lang.c"

graphics.h is not a standard part of the C programming language - most
likely it is only availible on whatever compiler the instructor wants
you to use.  If this is an older version of the Microsoft compiler,
then I believe that later versions include a copy of version 1.xx
which can compile DOS applications.

The only thing I tend to jump on (repeatedly and fantically, with an
evil glint in my eye) is insulting and arrogant postings, especially
in reply to correct and good answers.

The observation of the original poster is correct: there is no
"graphics.h". And your own obsrevation is correct as well. This is
a non standard header, and a very *compiler specific* one at that.

I don't know of only one compiler that has a "graphics.h" and the
corresponding libraries. The assignment of the original poster
should have read: "program graphics using graphics.h and the Borland-C
compiler".

The experts for discussing this subject more thoroughly and for
providing more detailed help can be found in the following
newsgroup:

That's the problem: they can't, because it's not a Microsoft file.
What they could tell you, though, is that Visual-C 1.5 has a header
file called "GRAPH.C", which serves a similar purpose, but offers
different functions.
