A few minor corrections and embelishments upon your description of
GSX, Dan. First, there is only ONE graphics library. There are
several other support libraries, but the real guts is in one place.
Secondly, the pricing question was a real mess. I'd look for it in
the retail $30-$50 range.
Lastly, it can also be run from any assembler that generates a .REL
file. (i.e. RMAC or M80)
Future languages (like C) are a possibility, but are not likely until
DRI gets hold of a C that they like. This could be a while.
If you're very intrepid and have one of the other languages
mentioned, you should be able to write your own language interface.
Don't expect any miracles....
GSS by the way, is Graphics Software Systems, the people who are
actually writing the graphics code.
