Didn't Borland open-source or freeware license Turbo C++ ? The
cheaper Borland C++ ? If I remember that right and you can find
it, it might be the compiler that was used.
I see "graphics.h" being included in the C-code, which indicates
Borland Turbo C (says google). Find Borland Turbo C 2.x and install
that under FreeDos, and you should be able to compile. First step for
porting to linux would be to get rid of references to the Borland
graphics library I guess.
I also found this http://libxbgi.sourceforge.net/ , which claims to
implement the graphics lib interface (google after "BGI", for Borland
Graphics Interface) . So with that, it should be doable to tweak it to
run natively under linux.
