subject: A good graphics library

DC>Can anyone recommend a good graphics library for Borland Turbo C++
DC>(DOS) that can handle SVGA 800x600, and 256+ color depth?  The only one
DC>I can find is Matthew Hildebrand's "The Graphics Engine," which is
DC>nice, but cannot handle large graphics files well.
DC>(note for anyone who has experience with TGE who might be able to help
DC>in that respect -- I have a 350k pcx file that I want to load into
DC>memory and then use putImage() on, but it can't load it into memory.
DC>Instead I have to use displayPcxFile() which I think is slower..  Any
DC>suggestions???)
In order to load a 350K pic into memory, you must have that memory
avaliable. The best way is to use Protected Mode (P-Mode) so you get
access to XMS. Unfortunatelly, Turbo C++ doesn't support Protected Mode
unless you are programming for Windows.
