OMG! That's a part for Madras University / Anna University? Turbo C was not expected here! [snip, snip ...] (Nothing wrong in your e-mail, just wanted to come straight to the point) > So can we have a discussion on this thread More than discussion, either a planned implementation needs to kickstart or 'execution-should-begin'. Perhaps, to help myself and others from the Turbo C world, I had done this a long time ago. Should be available for re-use. http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Trivial_Graphics_Programming_with_GCC_and_Svgalib http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Compile_C_CPP_and_Java_programs_using_Kate http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Beginners_guide_to_GCC http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Hands-on_guide_to_GNU_Make The above is a wiki under GFDL, so either copy it or modify it.
