I am exploring the idea of developing some graphics program on a PC/386 using VGA. I am entirely new in this field. Initially, I am planning to use DOS and then may shift to SCO XENIX/UNIX. Assuming that I have a good 25Mhz 386, I would like to know the following: 1. What are different VGA cards available with a proper develop- ment system along with them?. In this I am particularly inter- ested in some C language package with an industry standard graphics ( GSK etc. ). 2. How easily I can shift to XENIX? Does XENIX support only the "cga library"? I am not aware of the latest developements. 3. Any other suggestions or points that I may have overlooked. It may be possible that the above had been discussed previously. But, I am a new entrant in the news world and would love to get detailed replies. You can send me a direct mail on : <satam@ecs.umass.edu> or reply on net itself. Hope to see good replies from the experts. Thank you in advance. Kirtikumar G.
