1. Linux GRAPHICS.E
Has anyone (besides me) given any serious thought to an updated version of
GRAPHICS.E that would work on Linux with libvga.so? Would there be
interest? What I am envisioning is that the "new" version would be call-
compatible with the existing GRAPHICS.E, but would implement at least a
large subset of the bitmap graphics procedures on Linux. Constants would
also be 'flagged' and remapped so that one could do single-source programs
that could be reasonably expected to work - within broad limits - on both
DOS and Linux. Has anyone already done this, or is working on this, or
should I continue and post the result (which will be made available
gratis, and probably should be 'stamped' if it works reasonably well).

Please continue!!
It not only seems like the logical way to go, but is badly needed.
