Frankly, I was dissapointed.  It is not UniVBE in lib form, it is
a graphics library.  OpenGL support is through MESA.  The graphics mode
didn't actually make readable output, I think it has something to do 
with the fact that the assembly parts are compiled with TASM and the
converted to .o form.

If you want to try it, be my guest, but you *must* have a version of
windows to install it with.

It's best selling point is that it is portable between DOS and Windows
(3.11 & 95)  The same graphics code is supposed to work between all
these OS's.

I'm sorry but I think Allegro is just better.
