Hi all,
	I've just managed to download all of djgpp including 'GRX'. I was
not impressed! Can any graphix-type people give me an indication of what
they thought/think of GRX. I thought it was too much like the usual TP/TC++
BGI library with the hundreds of functions and graphics modes. I also didn't
like the fact that whoever made GRX didn't seem to know how to draw a
simple circle or ellipse. They where approximated by a polygon! I don't
know how much of a speed-up this gives, but hasn't anyone heard of
Bresenham? Within a month of me getting the older version (from a
shareware destributor) I had made up a function that drew circles using
Bresenhams' method. It was pretty fast too, considering I only have a
386-25 (pitiful isn't it?).


BTW, could the responses be by private email. I just subscribed (like 5
mins ago) and I don't know I'd get the responses.
