[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Turbo C BGI driver for VGA in 256 colours?

paul@frcs.UUCP (Paul Nash) (03/11/91)

First, my apologies for posting a strictly compiler-dependant question to
various general groups.  I didn't want to wait for `comp.lang.turboc' :-)

Has anyone out there heard of (or better still, got) a Borland BGI driver
for a VGA card in 320 * 200 * 256 colour mode?  If so, could you mail me
a copy?  I am using Turbo C 2.0, which only supports various 16 colour
modes on VGA, and must have 256 colours.  If I can't do it with BGI, I 
will have to change to Microsoft, which _does_ do mode 13, but doesn't
have the fancy text support (which I need).

I would also like to know whether there are any fonts other than the
standard `simplex' and `sans_serif' available.  The `gothic' is totally
useless, but I would like to lay my hands on an italic font for BGI.
Does anyone know how to create BGI fonts, so that I can roll my own?

For answers to any of these, many thanks.

	paul
