It's weird there is someone still teaching using Borland C ... that is early 1990 stuff... and using DOS! That's closer to 30 years! It must be a cost thing.

I don't think it is a matter of cost. I think it is a matter of what the teacher knows.

Just to be clear: I didn't say Borland C is still used in Brazil. But you still can find CS courses teaching graphics.h just the same way. Actually, if it is used just for demo purposes I'd see no problem, it is still somewhat adequate for the purpose. I doubt that, though.
