graphics.eu / graphics.e 100% compatible?
Mike,
Would you mind listing some of the programs that you have ran under
graphics.eu from the archives - the DOS graphics demo's are not shipped with
LINUX and I do not have a duel boot system.... and I have not been able to
install DOS euphoria on dosemu.
I don't think its a good idea to rename graphics.eu graphics.e because we
will then lose get_position() at least -I crashed a program I tried to
port... and it appears from the comments in the graphics.eu code that
several other functions may not work.
Maybe Rob can help us out here by adding the dos graphics demo's to your
graphics.eu listing on the user contribution page.

And I had no choice but to zip it because of FreeServer filetype
restrictions.

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.

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.
