   Anybody knows how to use ScitechSoft4s Mega Graphics Library whit DJGPP ???

   First problem, the names of libraries are not (libXXXXXXX.a'. I've tried
   renaming them
   and seem towork, but then i have the second problem, MEMORY EXHAUSTED.

   My machine has 8 Mb, and I think this must be enough.

Well ... if the libraries were named something like XXXXXX.lib then they are:

1) not in COFF format and not linkable with DJGPP code though the .obj files
  could be converted to COFF format with a utility that is available; and
2) probably not protected mode/flat memory model code and not usable with DJGPP
  code even if translated to COFF.

If you have the source you could modify it as necessary to make it work in
protected mode and flat memory model and recompile with DJGPP.  Otherwise,
you are probably out of luck.
