GRX was almost completely rewritten from v1 to v2, largely because DJGPP
itself changed so much in the upgrade.  If you still want to use it,
you'll have to convert all the code to use the new library.

The real problem with GRX is that it's no longer supported by the
author, so there are no improvements being made, and no direct source of
technical support.  If you aren't hooked on GRX for any particular
reason, you should consider using the Allegro library instead.  It's a
full graphics and game programming library, complete with sound, mouse,
joystick, and keyboard support.  The latest version incorporates 3D
drawing functions as well.  Get it off of SimTel in the same place you
got GRX.

hth!
