Yes, there is port of Borland's BGI to Windows. I've downloaded WinBGI
sometime ago.
Unfortunately, the WinBGI package does not contain the .a file for use with
Dev-C++/MinGW.

But I've tweaked the WinBGI source codes a bit and managed to build
libwinbgi.a.
Also, the original source for bgidemo.c from Borland is also included in the
package.

I've created two Dev-C++ projects:
1. To build libwinbgi.a from the source.
2. To build testwinbgi.exe from bgidemo.cpp (I've re-named bgidemo.c to
bgidemo.cpp)

I've zipped and uploaded Dev-C++/MinGW port of WinBGI in this file:
http://www.yeohhs.com/shareware/winbgi_DevCpp.zip (file size: 42.5KB)

Please note that there were several warnings during the builds of both
libwinbgi and bgidemo.cpp.
However, the test program does work.
Also, I've not tested WinBGI thoroughly. :-)

You can download WinBGI from here:

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Yeoh
