As I'm sure Peter Fitzsimmons is furiously typing already, these functions
are Borlandisms.  Even non-Borland DOS compilers do not have them, although
most have the decency to preface non-standard or vendor-specific function
names with an underscore.

No.

You want to look into the OS/2 VIO API subsystem functions.  I don't know
if the Borland OS/2 compiler implements the Borland-specific functions in a
way compatible with the Borland DOS compiler, but that might be one
approach.
