	I can't find any references to graphics software for the EGA
on my Xenix 2.00 (IBM) system. Does anyone know of/have software to
do this? Something as simple as the unix 'plot' libraries would be
sufficient. 
	Thanks,

Note that Xenix lacks plot and graph. The only PC UNIX which
supports them is PC/IX, as far as I know. Having said that,
there is an IOCTL call in IBM Xenix which allows you to get the
address of the bitmapped display (as a far pointer?). I haven't
looked at it in a while, but I saw it demonstrated and have
looked at the writeup in the manual.
