The information in this article applies to:

The C Run-time (CRT) included with:

    - Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, version 1.0

The Phar Lap Lite DOS-Extender included with Visual C++ 32-bit Edition has a sample program, GRAPHICS, that demonstrates the use of the 16-bit MS-DOS graphics routines under Win32s.

However, the sample program does not mention that the 16-bit MS-DOS graphics library is not included with Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, version 1.0. The user must also have a version of Visual C++ for Windows (or C/C++ 7.0) to make 16-bit graphics function calls under Win32s, because GRAPHICS.LIB is included in these products.

Visual C++ 2.x is shipped with a version of Visual C++ for Windows which contains GRAPHICS.LIB.
