1. This file contains descriptions of some of the tools for BORLAND C++ 3.x
graphics.
2. Most of this tools work under the DOS, but with some you can use the same
code for DOS and Windows.
3. All source codes are available, no royalties.
4. To find files in the Compuserve, use file names of keyword KNOW_HOW.
5. Brief description of programs.

File name    OS       Description
__________________________________________________________________________
bgifil.zip   DOS      Fillarea() function for BGI. Use pattern or random
		      color combination. That is NOT floodfill, but real
		      filling. Algorithm use amount of memory proportional
		      to the linear size of image, not to its area.

bgiimg.zip   DOS      Operations with Borland's image formate. Cut, Paste,
		      Show, possibility to cut image on the viewport border
		      (BGI does not), Zoom, Show with transparent color,
		      getpixel/putpixel in memory and more.

bgipcx.zip   DOS      Operations with 16 color and B&W PCX images of any size:
		      Load, Save, Show, Scroll, Print with any deformation,
		      Zoom, Convert to B&W, Show with transparent color,
		      Load/save part of image, Cut, Paste, more.

grafic.zip   DOS/WIN  Vector graphics. Graphical primitives, like lineto(),
		      moveto() and so on are common part of any library.
		      This library incapsulates calls to this functions,
		      creating common interface for any graphical library
		      (current version support DOS BGI and Windows GDI).
		      Zooming, Scrolling, Mirror reflections, Rotations and
		      Complex (Nested) rotations of vector image or part of
		      it are hidden from the user by the system.
		      BGI fonts are supported, including filled and rotated
		      fonts, both under DOS and Windows.

xygraf.zip   DOS/WIN  Business, Scientific and Engineering diagrams of the
		      different types. Auto or manual axes scaling, "nice-
		      looking" axes labels, more.
		      This library uses vector drawing tools (see above) and
		      have access to its all features.

bgisfp.zip   DOS      Screen support for Laser Jet (*.SFP) fonts.

bgigui.zip   DOS      Event-driven GUI for 16-colors VGA / EGA. Full mouse
		      and keyboard support. Multiple overlapped windows,
		      icons, buttons, edit line and other controls, context-
		      sensitive hypertext help.

evtdrv.zip   DOS      Event driver: full mouse and keyboard support,
		      scripts and macroses.

b&w.zip      DOS      EXE file. Utility to convert 16 color PCX to B&W.
		      Much more simple in use and flexible than Paintbrush
		      analog.

s_ware.zip   DOS      EXE file. Utility. Input: Compuserve library index file,
		      Output - same file sorted by the number of downloads
		      per month.

bgifnt.zip   DOS/WIN  See xygraf.zip

bgibar.zip   DOS      BGI setfillstyle works with two colors, but one of
		      this colors is always BLACK (or foreground color, but
		      the same for all screen). This functions fix this
		      program and implement regular and gradient filling
		      of rectangular region using pattern and random color
		      combination.

wintxt.zip   WIN      printf emulation for Windows (with some some extentions).
