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 compiling and running some applications that
  use this library and it still works.  I have tried it under VMware and it
  fails; the VBE support for DOS seems to be rudimentary only.  This makes
  the testsuite fail everytime when the VESA mode is switched back to the EGA
  resolution.  I have not tested it under dosemu.



  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 binaries, headers, libs and html format documentation:

    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):
