It won't be easy. However, there are plenty of samples that use the Windows API, Google will help you find them.

As several people already asked: it can be BGI -- please see my answer.

Look at Hans Dietrich's articles on the same here at Code Project.

Lots of good stuff in there. Transparency, anti-aliasing, skinning - oh, and a clock too. :p

However you may use the Graphics class of the GDI+[^] library (provided you'll switch to C++ for Windows).
If you are stuck with C then you may use the GDI primitives.
You may find several examples of analog clock applications[^] written this way.

If this is what I think, this header file is for Borland Graphics Interface, BGI. It was quite a bad library for MS DOS, widely uses when there was very little graphics interfaces available. Presently, totally obsolete and not supported by any version of modern OS. There are some simulators though, and some loosers still use them; it happens very rarely. If you are not one of them, ask about something else; indicate you OS.
