[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] C Port, Mac to PC; Toshiba DCGA and QBasic 4.5

I have two queries:

1. I am interested in moving a program written in C from the
Macintosh to MSDos machines. Is there a library of C routines
available somewhere that makes this easier by emulating the Macintosh
toolbox calls? More generally, what products do people recommend for
helping to port C programs from Mac to PC?

2. My Toshiba 1000SE has a 640x400 DCGA screen; according to its
documentation, it normally works with software that supports the AT&T
DCGA screen. Microsoft QuickBasic 4.5 supports the DCGA on AT&T, but
I get an error message if I try to use it to access the DCGA on my
Toshiba. Does anyone know of a patch to QuickBasic that fixes this
problem?
