Subject: svgalib/DOS port

   Olympic games getting to you so that you have left your programming
for some track & field? Well here are some good news!

   I have been hacking away after Linux svgalib these last few weeks
trying to get it to work under DOS / Windows. Here are the highlights:

VGA driver: works great.

Restoring text mode: accurate.

Cirrus driver: flawless ( I think ).

Linear frambuffer: surprising ( it even searches for the address).

Memory mapped register access: works too.

Access to video memory using regular C pointers: unchanged.

   I will make it available as soon as I get to the university. Lots
of work still has to be done, especially for drivers for video cards that
I don't have. If you would be interested in helping, mail me 
(moisemih AT ift DOT ulaval DOT ca).

Cheers!

Beautiful things, no thongue 
Their beauty might declare.
A gush of love sprung from my heart
And I blessed them unaware.
Sure my kind saint took pity on me
And I blessed them unaware.
