I need help in implementing some primative graphics on MS-DOS machines.
I am porting ecological simulation software to a number of different
micros, and plotting the results is an important part of the package.
Neatness is not too important -- I have written standard transportable
routines that only require that I know how to draw a line, clear the
screen, and perhaps put a string at a particular location. But I don't
use MS-DOS, and have only infrequent access to one with a suitable range
of compilers. If anyone can provide the basic routines (preferably PD,
as this package is distributed free and I have no budget for purchasing
software for a machine I don't have), it would be a blessing.
The language I use is Fortran-77 and I need to be able to call the
routines from Lahey and/or MicroSoft 4.0 compilers. I have access to C
compilers and assemblers as well.
All I need are routines to clear the screen, draw lines, and place text.
I understand that I also need a routine to determine the system
configuration. The rest can be done in Fortran I think.
I know enough about other languages so that I could translate C, Pascal,
etc. From MS-DOS I know nothing, although I have some gurus around (but
they know nothing about graphics!).
Please reply by email, as I don't normally subscribe to this group
(although I will try to check it regularly in case you try to reach me
and can't reach the address below).
Thanks in advance, Bill Silvert
