Could somebody recommend a good graphics subroutine package (PD or commercial) for the PC 6300. The requirements are : a) C callable from C86 or MS C b) Support full resolution of ATT graphics board c) Speed. It is intended to be used in a semi - real-time application. The features and generality are not as important as SPEED. Any help appreciated. Please e-mail to me. Thanks, Ramesh @ ATT Bell LAbs. Whippany, NJ. -- N. Ramesh

They have a very nice graphics library that supports lots of graphics modes, including AT&T 640x400. (But not the DEB; sorry.) I haven't stood around with a stopwatch, but the demo programs I've run seemed reasonably quick. (The graphics routines in MSC 5.0 and Quick C 1.0 support only IBM display modes; no Hercules MGA, no AT&T 640x400.) -Paul S. R.
