The best place to look for C source is Bob stout's Snippets collection
at http://www.snippets.org/ - but do please read the copyright notices
and give credit where it is due etc etc.

What do you mean by this? If you mean string processing, then that's
okay. If not, you're probably not aware that you're off-topic here.

You'll need to ask the people in news:comp.os.msdos.programmer about
these. The way you do such things in DOS differs from how you'd do them
under any other system, and the C standard doesn't say anything about
graphics or GUIs so you're technically off-topic here.

See the C FAQ for this - http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html
