I used GRX 2.0 in the DJGPP implementation of my cross-platform GUI toolkit.
The interface code to the video and input system under DJGPP + GRX is the
simpliest and most linear among all platforms in which my toolkit is
available (DOS BGI, Unix X-Window and especially Windoze). So, I'm
a happy GRX user.
The only big problem is the extreme inefficiency when running a GRX
program in a video mode with a number of colors other than 256.

Recently I have uploaded to Simtel.Net a freeware math function grapher:

and my GUI toolkit:

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/c/mgdos181.zip

Both use DJGPP V2 and GRX 2.0
