Hi,
I know that this is not what you asked, but I just want to let you know:
If you want to program for D.O.S. , Windows and Linux and want to use the
graphic capabilities of Svgalib, I have a suggestion:
check the Euphoria programming language
www.rapideuphoria.com
There are several svgalib wrappers that lets you use Svgalib graphics.
It is the faster interpreter language I have seen, some benchmarks show that
it is 30 times faster than Perl, (I did verified that ,running the Benchmarks
in Mandrake 8.0 )
One of the useful built-in commands in Euphoria is opendll which opens and
uses any Library from Windows *.DLL or Linux *.so. This is the way that
svgalib is used.
I have just "discovered" Euphoria 4 days ago and now I am porting some
games and fractal programs. (It is very easy to use, you will forget all the
"malloc" and pointer nightmares from C )
bye,
-Hermang
