WinBGIm (Windows BGI - with mouse) version 6.0 is currently maintained and distributed by Michael Main at the University of Colorado http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/cs1300/doc/bgi/bgi.html

Michael welcomes us  to . . . “use and modify this library as you like”.

This release does not modify Version 6.0 of WinBGIm (Nov 2005 update), except for some trivial changes that were needed to get it to compile and link under MingW 5.0.3.
 
WinBGIm is installed as part of  Quincy 2005 (a simple C/C++ IDE for MingW) and Codeblocks EDU-Portable (Codeblocks-EP, an educational distribution of the Code::Blocks IDE). It is also required as a building block of the koolplot 2D graph plotting library, also released with Quincy and Codeblocks-EP.
