I have a Tandy CM-11 with the so-called TGA (Tandy Graphics Adaptor). Now I am programming graphics on it with Turbo Pascal. Is there a TGA.BGI file available for TP 5.5?

I suppose it is possibe to write inline routines to replace the strandard graphics procedures but I am not an experienced assembly language programmer. Please do not suggest I upgrade to TP 5.5 (6.0?) Version 3.0 meets most of my needs, I have masses of code that would need porting, and (most importantly), I am a "poor student" :-) Any comments, assistance and especially code samples appreciated!

I plan on writing one in the next year or so if one is not available (time permitting.). The only language that I am aware of that directly supports the Tandy modes (which are really the PC Jr. enhanced graphics modes) is Basic. As for the upgrade, w/o a TGA driver you would gain nothing by going to a higher version of Turbo. However, if one becomes available, you will definitely need to go to at least Turbo 4.0, since the device independent graphics kernel wasn't introduced until that version.
