  I'm looking for either a graphics library or a patch for
Turbo C++ or Quick Basic, but preferrably Turbo C++,
which would allow me to use more than 1 foreground color or 
2 colors total in the  [ 640 x 200 ] CGA graphics mode....
 
  All I have available to use for my application is a CGA card/monitor
and the application will be icon/mouse driven, so the more colors
I have available the better....

I believe you're refering to the inability of TC++ (and I assume QBasic)
to allow you to specify two colours.  This is a problem with the CGA
adapter and not with any of these programs.  The background colour is
always black for a true-blue CGA card and the foreground can be any
of the 16 available colours (set with the setbkcolor() procedure).
I think it is possible with other cards to remap the 0 (black) colour
to something else; I think I did it with an old Tandy EX once...but then
I think your article stated that you have a CGA.  Not sure about the
last part anyways.

Hope this helps,
M. A. Ketter

P.S.  Sorry didn't include previous article.  Must have goofed that
up.
