Svgalib-GPC is a set of graphics units for GNU-Pascal. The units are the rewriting of data contained in the header include files included in the Svgalib distribution, in a manner which make it easy for Pascal programmers to use Svgalib without needing to rewrite prototypes.

Most units just contain the prototypes for using Svgalib functions, with some adjustments regarding Boolean return values and CString stuff. The keyboard units (raw and normal mode) yet are rewritten using TFDD capabilities (and thanks to Frank for the explanation) and they seem to work well.

I think the package is alright but I haven't tested it out much. So current status is neither of alpha, beta, gamma, delta, YOU have to tell me :-)

The full library is distributed under the GNU LGPL. For details read the file COPYING.LIB contained in the tarball.

Svgalib-GPC needs the latest alpha version of GPC, because of the TFDD stuff, and it's not that portable, in fact I think it's useable for Linux/x86 only, but it might work under other systems with svgalib4ggi. If you're going to test it for me, please tell me about the results.

There are not good demos in the tarball to show you the capabilities of this all, and I'm not spending much time coding new features or demos. I think I'll improve this just if I get feedback and requests :-) Just because I enjoy only if people use what I code :-)

If you have to report bugs, suggestions, requests, write to me at this address girardi@keycomm.it

Thanks to: Frank Heckenbach for help with TFDD stuff and for getting me to release this and Peter Gerwinski for the account on agnes.

Have fun :)
