  I don't use any of these libs in my program, but if I remmember well the 
principal advantage of JLib is the cross platform features. If I'm no wrong 
JLib uses SVGALib in Linux to support the same things that the DOS version, 
that's important for the people that's thinking on multi-plataform soft.
