dude you got to rember the dos port of FB is fairly young when compared to the windows and linux version.
also dos isn't really victor prioirty he got bigger things to fry like adding more things to FB improving the compiler it self and maybe at some point porting it to mac os X.
also orignal concepted of FB never include a built in gfx lib that was always going to be left to extenal lib's. it only because of Sterling Christensen that the leagcey gfx lib was even started and then thanks to Lillo for creating the built in lib we have today.
if anything FB dos port still holds more to the C philosophy which is what fb more or less fallows although the windows and linux version kind of break this with the built in libs but ok since the lib doesn't link unless you use it although polutes the name space a bit but nothing perfect
