Any graphics demos included with the DOS version of euphoria will work with
  graphics.eu.  Just rename graphics.eu to graphics.e (in other words, backup, then
  overwrite the original Linux version with the new one).

A problem with writing to a vfat file system mounted into LoopLinux.  And I
  had no choice but to zip it because of FreeServer filetype restrictions.

With Euphoria for DOS available as public domain, and a whole archive full of
  excellent DOS graphics programs, the point of the library is to provide seamless
  conversion from DOS to Linux.  Any demo programs I could provide would be weak
  and redundant.

Generally, the svgalib package file (whether tar, tgz, rpm, or other) comes
  with a couple of test programs.  If not, there are a large number of programs
  that use svgalib available at Redhat's or Slackware's web sites.  It's probably a
  better idea to test svgalib as directly as possible before getting into potential
  pathing problems presented by Euphoria programs.
