Anyway...is there any > graphics library for Turbo C++? You'll love GNAT Ada which uses DJGPP as back-end: the unstripped output size of a 300-lines 3D demo make 340K ! The same in Turbo Pascal is 8K. But which one is 8x faster ? The Ada code ! Be reassured, the EXE size doesn't depend linearily on source code size; it's at least a sort of y=ax+b function (x=#lines, y=#K in EXE). The b itself depends on the library units used; what is sure is that it's much bigger in DJGPP, but it's useful - cf the other messages in the thread... -- Gautier -------- Homepage: http://www.unine.ch/math/Personnel/Assistants/Gautier/Montmollin.html Software: http://www.unine.ch/math/Personnel/Assistants/Gautier/Gaut_FTP.htm
