You have an old and out-datedversion of Turbo C.  You should
update to the latest version (2.0) (if you own the package) or you should 
buy a new copy.  Borland started including the graphics routines with
version 1.5.  Their newest version has the same routines (minus some
bugs) and also a nice debugger.  I was able to port GNUPLOT to
Turbo C and the debugger was invaluable.

Prior to version 1.5 you had to write all of your own graphics 
primitives.
