Subject: ANNOUNCE: MGRX 1.0.0  2D graphic library for DJGPP 2.03/2.04 uploaded

  MGRX is a 2D graphics library derived from the GRX library.  On DOS it
  supports VGA and VESA compliant cards.  MGRX is a fork of GRX 2.4.7 and
  only offers the C API.

  Please note that I am not sure if those libraries are still maintained at all.

  I have tested it underplain DOS and FreeDOS compiling and running some
  applications that use this library and it still works.  I have tried it under
  VMware and it fails. Changing VESA modes seems not to work well neither if
  WinXP nor if MSDOS or FreeDOS is used as OS.  Unfortunatly my openSUSE
  installation does not like dosemu at all so I was not able to test it.



  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  Only minimal changes to the sources have been done to try to pacify the
  compiler.  I have also changed the makedefs.grx file that controls the
  path where the fonts are installed.  The changes are documented in the
  diffs file stored in the /djgpp directory.

  To use and compile from sources this library, you will have to install the
  zlib, png, and jpeg libraries available at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlib125b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/png152b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/jpeg8cb.zip
  or:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib125b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/png152b.zip
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/jpeg8cb.zip
  Of course, you can download a newer version of zlib, png and jpeg if
  available.  The zlib, png and jpeg stored in /current have been compiled
  with djdev203 and those ones from /beta are compiled with djgpp204 beta.

  The font set is installed in /dev/env/DJDIR/libs/fonts/grx.


  Please read the docs installed in /dev/env/DJDIR/share/doc/mgrx-1.0-0



  The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and consists
  of the two packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors
  as (timestamp 2011-06-05):

    MGRX 1.0.0 source:
    ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/mgrx100s.zip


  The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of
  djdev204 beta library.  This package is available at ftp.delorie.com and
  mirrors as (timestamp 2011-06-05):
