Graphics libraries aren't really a function of the compiler: rather,
Borland happened to bundle a graphics library with their compiler.
Available graphics libraries depend much more on your platform and
operating system.

The only cross-platform library I can think of is SDL
(http://www.libsdl.org/) but it's probably a bit low level for what
you're after. If you're using Linux on a PC then there's also svgalib
(http://www.svgalib.org/) but again that's probably too low level. Or,
recently recommended on this list, FreeVGA
(http://sf.znet.com/~vhold/FreeVGA/home.htm).

You might want to try searching on http://sourceforge.net/ and
http://freshmeat.net/ for libraries to match your platform.
