Many years after the VGA has been available, Borland C++ STILL does not
support either the 256-color mode, or the ability to use the 18-bit VGA
colors.   The remapallpalette() function takes an array of only 16 elements,
and each element must be one of the 64 stupid EGA colors, not an 18-bit
VGA color.  Is this not inexcusable?  Am I missing something?  This
deficiency alone makes me want to switch to MSC++ 7.0.
