Subject: ANNOUNCE: update of MGRX 0.9.7 2D graphic library for DJGPP 2.03/2.04 uploaded

This is an update of MGRX-0.9.7 2D graphic library.

  This update fixes an error I have introduced coding the font path.  For
  every one that seriously plans to use the library, an update to this
  version is highly recommended.

  MGRX is a 2D graphics library derived from the GRX library.  On DOS it
  supports VGA and VESA compliant cards.  MGRX is a fork of GRX 2.4.7 and
  only offers the C API.

  Please note that MGRX 0.9.7 is not compatible with GRX 2.4.7.  This is
  due to a mayor number of name clashes between the libraries, binaries and
  fonts.  You can install one or the other but not both.  These clashes may be
  resolved but I will not waist my time trying to do so.  If you are free to
  choose the library to use, MGRX 0.9.7 is the right choice because it is still
  developed and maintained by the library author.


  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  The sources have not been modified at all.  I have added support for the
  jpeg, png and pnm formats trough the already ported jpeg and png libraries.
  This implies that if you use libmgrx.a you will have to install and link
  the following libraries too:
    ljpeg6bb.zip  (losless jpeg library)
    png1216b.zip  (png/pnm library)
    zlib123b.zip  (zlib)
  to your application adding the following to your gcc command line:
    -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lm

  The MGRX library comes with a font set.  Because there is no standard place
  in MSDOS/DJGPP where to store it, I have opted to store it in the same place
  where the unix/linux port of MGRX will store it, this is:
    /usr/local/lib/fonts/grx
  That unix path becomes:
   $DJDIR/lib//fonts/grx
  on a DJGPP system.

  If you do not like any of these changes, you will have to recompile the
  library and binaries from scratch reverting the changes I have done to the
  makedefs.grx file.  The changes I have done are documented in /djgpp/diffs.

  Please read the MGRX documentation stored in $DJDIR/share/doc/mgrx-0.97.


  The port consists of two packages that have been compiled using stock
  djdev203 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as

    MGRX 0.9.7 sources:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/mgrx097s.zip


  For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries has been produced
  a second time using the djdev204 beta library. This package is available
  at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-08-02):
