Hi Mariano,
I have just developed a frame driver for packed 4 bits per pixel mode. That is, 2 pixels packed in each byte. I supose this mode is not very useful in PC platforms. I use it in an embedded system.
If anyone is interested, I would be glad to submit it, but if it's not the case, why bother in maintaining and distributing it?
About the Win32 target, I'm very interested. A year ago Peter Gerwinski informed that he had a beta version. I wonder what happened with this project.

Hi, all:
Announce GRX 2.3.4 pre-release. Main changes: - user's guide updated again. - ctx2pnm included. - new grxdemo.c and pnmtest.c test programs. - test programs changed a little, to remove warnings and to use GRX
keyborad interface when possible. - pascal subdirectory update (contributed by Eike Lange). - Win32 target (see bellow). - user's guide ported to info format (contributed by Vicente Fuentes Gea)
This is a pre-release, I have checked the library on DJGPPv2,
Mingw32, Linux svgalib and Linux X11. (On X11, the bgi demos don't work, I don't know why).
It will be nice if borland, wattcom and pascal users can check the
makefiles.
Is there any DJGPPv1 user? If not, I will want to remove support for
it in future releases, I think it doesn't make sense.
About the new Win32 target. Yes, here is it, but not, I don't have
(yet) a windows driver. Grx compiles OK using Mingw32 (except the print addon), but with the memory driver only (you can check it using the memtest.c program).
I wil wait a week or two to release the final version.

What are the advantages over the ram4 frame driver?

I don't know (Peter?). I plan to work on a new one, but I need to read the Petzold book again :-(
Hi, GRX folks!

I intended to contribute it after the license change. Meanwhile I am afraid that I must realize that this will never take place ...
Okay - at least BCC2GRX and BGI2GRX are now under the GRX license (LGPL with additional permissions), so it is legal to use this code together with GPC. So there is no more real reason to withhold the Win32 stuff.
So here it is:

Be welcome to merge it with the main branch of GRX in order to make this the best and most portable low-level graphics library the world has ever seen ... :-)
Greetings,
Peter
