Subject: sorry about "simple graphics"!
To: DJGPP mailing list <djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu>

hi again,
	I'm sorry if anyone interpreted my "SIMPLE graphics" post a being
a flame, it wasn't meant to be. It's just that I had already written
several (smallish) programs using the 'simple' graphics library, when I
started downloading the new version, except I sorta missed the graphics
library because it was labeled as 'simple'. So I tried to convert my
programs to GRX, thinking it would be fairly easy seeing as how GRX was
'sposed to be more advanced. To cut a long(ish) story short, I just found
it confusing and went back to the simple graphics library.

	I'm really interested and somewhat experienced in high-speed/real-time
graphics and would be happy to put together some sort of RT graphics lib.
Where would I 'post' it to? Would anyone else be willing to colaborate with
me? I'm in uni and I wouldn't have great globs of time to spare. Also, I
only have a 386-25 with NO FPU, so apart from being really slow, I have to
use the 387 emulator. Perhaps someone with an FPU can sorta check on the
lib. I haven't been real successful in the past at my attempts to write
large libraries. Perhaps someone can give me some tips on how to keep it
well-structured. Any thoughts?
