- These programs are the functional equivalent of Borland's Turbo
- Graphix programs for the IBM CGA (B&W hi-res graphics) but written for
- the CI-C86 C compiler. The translation was performed as I absolutely
- had to use large model structures for a specific application.
-
- Documentation has not been included. The Turbo Graphix program is
- relatively inexpensive and I would suggest strongly that if you wish
- to use these programs that you purchase a copy of the program for the
- documentation. However be careful - Pascal is a strongly typed
- language and performs type conversions when calling functions. C does
- not perform such conversions and you will get garbage if you do not
- pass parameters correctly.
-
- I have used the Turbo Graphix package for a couple of projects. It is
- sufficient some of the time for the 'quick look' type of work. This
- version operates only in the 2-colour high resolution mode on the IBM
- CGA or EGA or functional equivalents. The Turbo Graphix package
- itself also supports the Hercules card, and there have been some
- extensions for the very high-resolution mode of the EGA.
-
- Somewhere along the line I will perform a more extensive rewriting of
- this mode to allow colour, etc.
