 I think this question is for another conference, but still...

Under OS/2 you do not need a special graphics library - all you should do is
using a native OS2/ Graphcis Engine(part of PM). AFAIK Watcom examples for OS/2
include file draws kitchen in 3D. I have Am486DX100/8/S3 Trio 64 2Mb and I have
not seen any delays when this example draws. But you'd rather purchase another
IBM product - Toolkit for WARP - there are a LOT of examples!

I cannot help you in Windows part of Watcom library - I did not install it
'cause there's no Windows on my HDD.

As for DOS, Watcom includes MSC-compatible library supporting all usual and
VESA modes. Just run whelp and see...
