The following is a compilation of the types of graphics functions
available under OS/2 with the Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler versions
5.10 and 6.00.
C 5.10
------
The graphics library provided with the Microsoft C version 5.10
Optimizing Compiler does not support OS/2 protected mode. These
graphic functions are written strictly for real mode.
On the Update Page 25 of the "Microsoft C 5.1 Update" section of the
"Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler: User's Guide" (Section 7.2.1), there
is a list of functions supported in real mode only. All of the
graphics functions also should be listed.
C 6.00
------
The graphics library provided with the Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler
version 6.00 supports text-oriented graphics in a separate library
file named GRTEXTP.LIB.
A list of the available text graphics functions for OS/2 are listed in
appendix Section B.2.12 on Page 431 of the "Microsoft C Advanced
Programming Techniques" manual for version 6.0.
All of the standard graphics routines listed in the manuals are
available under DOS. The above restrictions apply only to programs
compiled for use with OS/2 protected mode.
Extended graphics support for OS/2 can be accomplished by using the
OS/2 presentation manager (PM) library functions using Microsoft C
version 5.10 or 6.00. The OS/2 PM libraries are included with the
Presentation Manager Toolkit version 1.10 or 1.20, as well as with the
OS/2 Software Development Kit version 2.00.
