Thank all of you who replied, but please heed this update.
* Re: LIBS - was answered. "No, you can't convert them."
* Re: Bioskey - was answered, but I wrote my own anyway. If anyone is
interested in a mimic of 'bioskey()/bios_kbrd()' that includes #defines
for the arrow keys, home etc., just ask.
* Re: Screen Writes - I never should have asked. It turns out that in "pc.h"
they have an external variable that points to the video base addres scalled
ScreenPrimary (and there is some ScreenSecondary), and they even include
at least one primitive DSW function. Solution that did not work, interestingly
enough, was to use the highliy-touted GRX libraries, save the current
(80x25text mode) as a context, and read the 'base-addr' variable from the
context structure. That always reported '0' as the start of the video memory.
* Re: Tex - Was answered, basically. I'm now trying to get the file that
converts to dvi and the viewer. TThanks for all your help.       -Weimer
