Re: Constest Idea
Note that this doesnt cover Linux or FreeBSD users.
Of course, most *nix graphics can only be done via external libraries
(i.e. the X server (and assorted libraries built on top of Xlib), or
SVGAlib for Linux).
(It is possible for a program to do graphics on such a system w/o the
libraries, but such a program would need direct access to the hardware
and
most likely have to be part asm (it'd certainly be part device-driver!).)
Only ASCII graphics are guarrented to work across all platforms.

PS How about some Win32 API gurus whip up a graphics.ew library for
exw.exe
(and maybe image.ew as well), while someone else (me??) creates a
graphics.eu
lib over apigtk.e ? Then we let the graphics.ew and graphics.eu libraries
be accepted as equilivent to graphics.e for DOS. This would let us write
DOS graphics programs in Eu and have it work across platforms. There
might
be problems with comparing speed, but benchmarking by platform should
solve
that problem. (Or, alternatively, a graphics benchmark program be run
under
all 3 libraries, and its results are used to "adjust" the speed of the
programs
in the contest.)
