Hello.

  I've downloaded and installed DJGPP and been able to successfully
compile a few simple programs (my own) using gcc.  I'd like to implement
simple graphics in some of them, but I am having difficulty in getting
my programs to recognize the grx libraries.

  I think that the grx22 library is correctedly installed since I am
able to compile the sample programs in djgpp/contrib/grx22/test.
However, I cannot figure out how implement any of the grx22 functions in
my own programs.  For example, suppose I have a 100x100 array of 0's and
1's that I'd like to display graphically (0 = black, 1 = white).  How
would I go about implementing this?  (I've looked at the sample program
life.c, but can't figure it out).  What include files do I need?  Which
libraries?  How do I set RHIDE up so that it automatically notifies gcc
of the correct paths, etc?

  If anyone could offer a few tips to a beginning programmer, I would
greatly appreciate it.  (If your inclination is to tell me to RTFM,
please tell me at least which FM to read. :-)

Thanks,

Jason Alexander
