I needed similar sort thing myself. Somebody recommended TCXL which I down
loaded from simtel-20.The small model version 5.52 which is a shareware.
I was impressed by demo provided in there but when I compiled/link the demo
for myself it fail for not being able to include _TCXLvid.h .Apprently
many people had the same problem. Somebody suggested that there is CXL
package in the simtel-20 but in a different directory(in C) and does almost
everything TCXL does. Luckly all the header file for small model version
5.2 is down there and demo program compiles/links without any problem.
Above all the documentation provided are easier to read and the functions
are c like functions compare to TCXL which I found very pascal looking and
difficult to understand. 
It solved my problem. I hope it does the same for you.
