   No. It wouldn't. It is for Windows.

   That would be distinctly illegal, and should not even be
   suggested. You will have to get another compiler if you
   want to compile DOS apps.

   It means what it says. You cannot run .BGI under Windows.
   You will have to learn to use the Windows API.
   If you would not mind a suggestion, for under $40 you may
   obtain C++ Programming Starter Kit from Egghead.com, which
   will include Standard versions of VC++4.0 and VC++1.52.
   VC++4.0 is only for Win32 OS systems, but VC++1.52 will
   work under Win3.1.
   If you want a DOS compiler, then you will need to get a
   compiler which specifically targets DOS. Most recent
   compilers not only do not produce DOS executables, but
   do not even produce applications runnable under 16-bit
   Windows systems and require a Win32 environment both for
   the development environment and for the resulting
   applications.
   If it is your intention to learn to program for the
   average home system, then you should consider that DOS
   is being left behind, and the Win32 environment is the
   present standard for the majority of home users.
   Hobbyists and other serious technophiles may prefer Linux
   or OS/2 or even DOS or one of the DOS clones, but the
   majority of the users don't know and don't care and will
   use Win'95 or Win'98 because that is what their system
   comes with and it is deliberately easy for them to use.
