Hello. I am using Borland Turbo C++ 4.5. (Yes, it's rather old.) My books must be even older, because I entered this code with function calls like _setvideomode( ) and _getvideoconfig( ). Stuff like that.<br />
<br />
But when I compile the program, I get the message &quot;BGI graphics not supported in Windows.&quot; Well, what are BGI graphics? Why aren't they supported in Windows? How do I get around this? Should I get MS Visual C++ instead? Or should I be developing in DOS using Borland C / C++ 3.1?<br />
<br />
Thank you one and all!<br />

BGI graphics not supported in Windows.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
