Not just that- the Microsoft BASIC compiler provided

At least with QuickBasic you had the choice of incorporating BRUN45.EXE
and BRUN45.LIB into the .exe file. I remember that with Borland
compilers you had to include lots of files such as
CGA.BGI, HERC.BGI, EGAVGA.BGI together with any application that
you wrote.
