	All you need is to have the EGAVGA.BGI file (assuming you
	have an EGA or a VGA card) in the same directory as the
	program you want to run. The EGAVGA.BGI is included in the STK
	archieve. You can also place the BGI drivers into another
	directory, if you define the environment variable BGIDIR to
	point into that directory, eg SET BGIDIR=C:\STK\DRIVERS. 

	I did not link the drivers into the executables because
	it would have been a waste of space to duplicate them into all
	programs. Also the Turbo C users should have the BGI files
	already, so they can just set the BGIDIR variable.
