There's a (nearly) device independent graphics lib called VOGL (or VOGLE),
named 'V'ery 'O'rdinary 'G'raphics 'L'ib. It should be a subset of the
GL graphics lib.
Available from a site somewhere in Australia, called munnari.oz.au
Best to ask archie.
It supports lots of devices, DOS graphics, graphic terminals and (postscript)
printers. A mouse is recommended to make full use of the library.
Maybe somebody has already written a driver for LIBGRX, I don't know.
