I try to port an old DOS app that mainly used plain old text + few 
simple graphics to a windows console mode using BCC32 5.5.1

1. i still get linker unresolved references which come from calls by 
functions of the standard library (not my calls); or perhaps these are 
internal variables ?
I linked with c0x32.obj, cw32.lib and import32.lib; Is there another 
library/obj i have to add when linking ?
_CG_DA_BEPXSY
_CG_INTR_STRCPY
_CG_LDA_EOXSY
_CG_GDA_EGY
_CG_A_PY
_CG_A_PQ
_CG_DA_EPY
_CG_A_BP
_CG_GDA_EGXSY
_CG_DA_EPXSY
are unresolved

2. Are there any equivalent functions of the graphic functions that were 
in the graphics.lib under bcc 3.1 ?
like : line(), moveto(), rectangle(), setcolor(), outtxtxy()... which 
worked in a dos box

Thank all of you for your help
