dcolman@gara.une.oz.au (Doug Colman) (04/11/91)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have been checking the Turbo Pascal Graphix Toolbox 4.0
The Screen Drivers are .DVR files such as grafCGA.dvr etc
However, there are no grafVGA.dvr or gVGA256.dvr drivers
Could some kind soul please send me one or both of these ???
    Thanx Muchly : Doug Colman (dcolman@gara.une.oz.au)

PS: Did VGA drivers come out with later versions of the ToolBox ??

  I own the Turbo Pascal Graphix Toolbox also, and consider it one
  of Borland's most glaring mistakes.  Borland makes this incredible
  effort to create a device independent graphics kernel (BGI), and 
  in the equivalent release of the Graphix Toolbox ignores the 
  effort.  Worse yet, they never write an uprgade to take advantage
  of BGI.  Needless to say, the Graphix toolbox sits on my shelf 
  collecting dust while I rewrite routines using BGI.

  And to answer you question, VGA drivers never came, since there
  never was a later version.  If you've got 4.0, you've got it all.
