I am new to DJGPP and have a question about linking with the grx
graphics library.  I noticed that we have to set the display driver.
For example, to tell the library that I have a mach64 card I should
make the following environment setting:
set grx20drv=mach64
Assume that I want to run the linked exe application on a PC that has
neither DJGPP nor the GRX graphics library, would it run?
This also applies to SWORD development system.  It relies on three
different environment settings:
grx20drv, font path, and swordpath.
Would apps using SWORD and GRX run on PC's that do not have SWORD,
GRX?
Is there a way to include certain files (fonts etc....) with the app
so that the app will run without all these settings on a different PC
that does not have any of this (grx, sword etc....)?
I hope so, otherwise this whole thing can be quite a major waste of
time :):)
Any help is appreciated!
