Well... look at it from their perspective... if they added those features
would they sell any more compilers?  If so, would it be more or less
than if they took that same manpower and applied it to some other area
on the compiler?  Most likely, when THEY do the estimates, they come
up with, "We'll work on something else instead...".

There are numerous third party libraries available that work with the
Borland compiler and support the things you want... some even have a
BGI interface available so you don't have to rewrite your code...

Send me email if you want a free demo disk of one (Flash Graphics from
FlashTek, Inc.).
