I am interested in writing applications which can use EGA graphics on a
PC-AT which runs Microport System V UNIX. Although Microport provides a
driver, it provides only the lowest level of support requiring an
application to execute many calls to perform a simple graphics function. I
suspect performance problems would surface using this interface, although I
am not sure. In any event, I am looking for an alternative. Although the
bios associated with the EGA card contains some higher-level support, it
cannot be used with System V (this information comes directly from
Microport).
Has anyone written an application for EGA in this environment? If so, how
did you do it? Alternatively, does anyone have any knowledge of a workable
approach to this problem?
