    Assistance
In summary, the speaker is starting college in September and has purchased Borland's C++ builder. After installing, they noticed that it lacked graphics and doesn't seem to have a form for drawing. They have compared it to a friend's and realized they may have purchased the wrong tool, as their friend is using Visual Basic. They are seeking help from a C++ forum.

I don't personally have experience with Borland's compiler or Integrated Development Environment, but are you sure your friend isn't using Visual Basic instead of a C++ development tool? From your description, it sound like that might be the case.

If so, the reason your program is different from your friend's is because C++ and Visual Basic are two almost totally unrelated languages.
