Summary:
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.
More Information:
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.
