Turbo C++ 4.5

I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING A PROGRAM TO EXECUTE.

THE PROGRAM REQUIRES BORLAND'S EGVGA.BGI GRAPHICS DRIVER.

HOWEVER, I DO NOT HAVE A BGI DIRECTORY IN TURBO++ 4.5.

HOW CAN I MAKE THIS PROGRAM EXECUTE?

HERE IS THE CODE:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 3DDEMO.CPP: Simple 3-D graphics drawing demonstration.
//                    Make sure that Borland's EGAVGA.BGI
//                    graphics driver is in the same directory
//                    as the program.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <graphics.h>

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// StartGraphics()
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void StartGraphics(void)
{
      int gdriver = VGA, gmode = VGAHI, errorcode;
      
      initgraph(&gdriver, &gmode, "");
      if ( (errorcode = graphresult()) !=grOk);
      {
          cout << "Graphics error: " << errorcode << '\n';
          getch();
          abort();
       }
}

Let's see, "THE PROGRAM REQUIRES BORLAND'S EGVGA.BGI GRAPHICS DRIVER" and "I DO NOT HAVE A BGI DIRECTORY IN TURBO++ 4.5". Sounds like a problem. First, look in all the Borland subdirectories for EGAVGA.BGI. As it says in the code:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

//                    Make sure that Borland's EGAVGA.BGI
//                    graphics driver is in the same directory
//                    as the program.

you need to copy that file into the directory with your program. Simple as that.

And when you post code, please use code tags. Read the sticky at the top of this forum.
