In case you do not know of a : tutorial, could you tell us which files we need. We are currently using : DJGPP ver 2.01 and RHIDE ver 1.1. We are able to compile all other : programs except graphics programs DJGPP itself doesn't really endorse a graphics library; there are several you can choose from. Which one you do choose will depend upon what you intend to use it for. I personally use Allegro, which is more than just a graphics library - it has routines to play sound, time things, get input from mouse, keyboard, joystick, ... everything you need to write games. The latest version even does 3D texture mapping. Look at the homepage: http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ -- George Foot Merton College, Oxford
