EasyCRT and EasyGDI are libraries that work in Borland's early releases of Turbo Pascal for Windows (circa 1992). I wrote them when I was a junior in my high school, where Turbo Pascal was the main programming language used in computer classes. EasyGDI is a procedural graphics library that wraps around the Windows GDI (graphics device interface), providing a simplified interface and adding new features like bitmap load and save routines. EasyCRT lets users write graphical windows programs without dealing with complexities like callback functions, event loops, or class libraries. It is based on Borland's Wincrt library, and it was used by students in my class and a few classes thereafter to write games. Both libraries come with documentation and sample programs. They have a homepage here and some documentation viewable here.
