There is a dos.h header file, but it's worth noting that in 32 bit
windows you may well have to use something else

You have posted your message in all of these newsgroups:

You do not identify which compiler you are using and the assortment of 
newsgroups you elected to multi-post to covers all of them.  Read the help 
for the compiler you are using.  If it is a compiler which can create DOS 
programs then the help will tell you about most of the things about which 
you are asking.  The rest can be inferred either from the compiler's 
accompanying examples or from the C language.  For example addr translates 
to &, blockread to fread and textcolor remains textcolor.

I am trying to port an old Pascal DOS game to DOS C/C++. I am wondering if 
anyone is familar with the dos & crt Pascal units and whether there are 
C/C++ equivalent libraries. Maybe dos.c & crt.c?

Below lists names of variables, functions, types & weird interrupt 
procedures found in Pascal. Am wondering what can be done to get around them 
for use in C/C++.
