RE: Announce: GRX 2.3.4 pre-release

Hi Mariano,

I have just developed a frame driver for packed 4 bits per pixel mode. That is, 2 pixels packed in each byte. I supose this mode is not very useful in PC platforms. I use it in an embedded system.

If anyone is interested, I would be glad to submit it, but if it's not the case, why bother in maintaining and distributing it?

About the Win32 target, I'm very interested. A year ago Peter Gerwinski informed that he had a beta version. I wonder what happened with this project.

Hi, all:

Announce GRX 2.3.4 pre-release.

Main changes:

- user's guide updated again.
- ctx2pnm included.
- new grxdemo.c and pnmtest.c test programs.
- test programs changed a little, to remove warnings and to use GRX

keyborad interface when possible. - pascal subdirectory update (contributed by Eike Lange). - Win32 target (see bellow). - user's guide ported to info format (contributed by Vicente Fuentes Gea)

This is a pre-release, I have checked the library on DJGPPv2,

Mingw32, Linux svgalib and Linux X11. (On X11, the bgi demos don't work, I don't know why).

It will be nice if borland, wattcom and pascal users can check the

makefiles.

Is there any DJGPPv1 user? If not, I will want to remove support for

it in future releases, I think it doesn't make sense.

About the new Win32 target. Yes, here is it, but not, I don't have

(yet) a windows driver. Grx compiles OK using Mingw32 (except the print addon), but with the memory driver only (you can check it using the memtest.c program).

I wil wait a week or two to release the final version.
