Happy Belated 4th!

Here's a dopey, old-school BGI program that will draw the American flag in the retro CGA video mode. This was compiled with Borland C++ 4.52. Because it's BGI related, a couple addition files it needs is: CGA.BGI to reference at runtime and graphics.lib to compile with.
(Press any key toggle the palettes, ESC to exit.)
