It is possible to use the QuickC Version 2.00 presentation graphics
and fonts library functions with C 5.00 or C 5.10. However, you must
be certain that all of the header files and libraries are from the
QuickC 2.00 package. If you attempt to compile a presentation graphics
program with C 5.10 and keep getting "unresolved external" messages
after carefully linking in GRAPHICS.LIB and PGCHART.LIB, reinstall the
default library and GRAPHICS.LIB from the QuickC 2.00 distribution
disks. Mixing the C 5.10 and QuickC 2.00 libraries results in this
behavior.

Please note that the QuickC 2.00 libraries do not support alternate
math. The QuickC 2.00 and the C 5.10 libraries cannot be mixed.
Therefore, there is no support for the alternate math package under C
5.10 when using presentation graphics or font library functions.

The unresolved externals that you get when mixing libraries are not
functions; they are the names of support routines and new variables
that do not exist in the default library or GRAPHICS.LIB from the C
5.10 package.
