hello.

i have written a directmedia library for djgpp named thinlib,
distributed under the GNU LGPL.  it's along the lines of SDL
(www.libsdl.org), for those who may be familiar with that library.

it provides access to a linear framebuffer, audio stream, mouse,
keyboard, joystick, and timer.  it may be a welcome alternative to the
comparatively bulky allegro library for those who merely want to get
some graphics and sound up and running.

you may find it at sourceforge:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/thinlib

currently, there are two known projects that use it: gnuboy, a gameboy
emulator (which uses a much older version of the library), and
shatbox, my nes emulator, which uses the current version of the
library.

gnuboy:
    http://gnuboy.unix-fu.org
shatbox:
    http://shatbox.baisoku.org

i invite you all to check out the library, and offer any comments, or
better yet, more code and drivers for thinlib!

thanks,
matthew.
