[fpc-pascal]BGIDriv and BGIFont units?

[Jeff Weeks]

Code here :

http://community.freepascal.org:10000/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl? 
msg_id=0000qd&topic_id=14&topic=Developing%20for%20Windows

shows units called BGIDriv and BGIFont.

Is this true, do they work and how do I get them?

Gracias!

Jeff
