[Sorry if this is an FAQ.]

A friend & I are planning to port an MS-DOS application to Linux to run
using svgalib graphics. At present it makes extensive use of the graphics
library in TurboC, and the most logical thing would be to write a set of
access routines to svgalib which emulated the Borland calls. That way the one
source program will continue to function for both Linux and MS-DOS.

The big question is: Has this been done already? Is there a Borland_to_
svgalib interface package out there that we can use?

Many thanks, in anticipation of some kind person pointing me at a ready 
solution.

BTW#1 Yes, I know of at least one Borland to Xlib interface. We want to be able
to run it without X.

BTW#2 If you are curious, the applications are the JDIC and JREADER Japanese
Dictionary drivers.

only one I can keep up with. Replies by mail may be best.]
