If you mainly need graphical output, then you can try just the GRX 
graphics library distributed with DJGPP (in v2tk). I think GXR is used 
by the DOS versions of gnuplot and MGUI, for instance.

BTW, the GRX website (http://www.gnu.de/software/GRX/) seems to have 
been stolen/supplanted. Trying to connect to it simpy gives a picture of 
the Andromeda galaxy (redirected to http://grx.gnu.de/).
