Q67761: GRAPHICS.LIB Cannot Be Used with Tiny Model

Programs written in the tiny model cannot use the graphics library
supplied with Microsoft C versions 6.00 and 6.00a. The graphics
routines are meant to be model-independent, so they are labeled as far
procedures. The linker does not allow far references in a tiny model
program and does not resolve the references to the graphics routines.

The sample source code below demonstrates this problem. The program
should be compiled with:

   cl /AT foo.c graphics.lib

For more information on building .COM files, query on the article
titled "Use of _far Keyword in Tiny Programs."

Sample Code
-----------

#include <graph.h>

void main(void);

void main()
{
   _setvideomode(_DEFAULTMODE);
}
