I have setup and tested GRX and I am mostly sure that it is setup
correctly. 
I then downloaded bcc2grx and unzipped it hoping to convert some of my
friends Borland written programs so I could compile them. I then added
the .h files and then I added the
.a files in my default directories. I then typed "make test" (Like
suppoed to). After the
tests were made, I went to try them. This is where my problem came up.
When
I accessed them, I kept getting the error "GrSetMode: unknown video
mode". I
had gotten this same error with GRX, but then I added the "set
directory=etc..." line in my DJGPP.env file. But I was curious why I had
this error in bcc2grx when I didn't have it in GRX. Also, when I went to
compile bcc2grx with my compiler, it said it couldn't find MANY of the
GRX
commands, even though the library was setup and running fine. 

Other question:

Does the bcc2grx enable all the graphics.h commands from Borland to work
in DJGPP?

Which is better: GRX or Allegro?

Thanks for reading,
