First, if you have version "D" or earlier, the <print.h> header files have
a bug...  In every case, the function defs at the end of the file NEED
to be typed as pascal.. ie

void foo();

needs to be

pascal void foo();

Provided you are making a standalone application, you don't need the
console driver, only the ".print" driver and the "ImageWriter" file.
