Calling Borland PASCAL BGI from C

[vdaniel]

Before Borland stopped to support the BGI for DOS, they
released SVGA.bgi for Turbo PASCAL 7, but did not the same for their
C (CPP) products.
Is it possible with some intermediate code call this PASCAL
bgi module from BorlandC 3.1?

Perhaps these drivers can help you. They are SuperVGA/BGI Drivers, but not from Borland. Especially take a look at INITSVGA.C / INITSVGA.PAS for examples on how to access the drivers.

Btw. I think BGI drivers are general drivers and not only dedicated to Pascal. As far as i remember (> 10 years ago) the binary XYZ.BGI were the same for C and Pascal, so only the interface differs.

Also attached is the Borland BGI Driver Toolkit V1.0 - maybe useful.


Good luck
