I have a question and a request somewhat along these lines. A friend of mine is looking for a graphics library for an MS-DOS 386 machine. She has both VGA and PGA boards, a color Multi-sync, and a math co-processor (I think it's a 387). Also, of course, a 386. She is a theoretical chemist, as as such she programs in FORTRAN [:-)]. So, are there any suggestions for a graphics library? Are there any that are compatible with this setup? The hard part, the hardware, is fixed; while the easier part, thhe FORTRAN interface, is more flexible (I think I can get her to code in C). She is not going to be able to get much support for this, and she won't have access to a network, which is why I was thinking of something like GKS---a known standard. Is there something better? She is somewhat willing to spend money o~n this, though of course a free library would be preferred (subject to her reliability needs). Also, she needs to find something within the next 3 weeks. I would appreciate any ideas, directions, or recommendations that anyone has.
