EW>        1.  What rez (320x200x256 for example) are the following games in:
EW>                a. Wolfenstien 3D

It's one of the modified Mode 13h routines, which one beats me, but from the
size of the pixels I'd guess it's 320x200 or 320x240.

  >                b. LEMMINGS VGA

It uses 640x480x16 for the Title and inbetween screens, and 320x200x256 for
the actual game.

EW>        3.  Where can I find out more about

EW>                 a. XLIB
  >                 b. XBLT

From the authors who are here, I'm sure they responded in EMail.  If
your .com site doesn't forbid uuencoded EMail, you can get both from them.
XLIB is the more complete one and free.

  >                 d. Fastgraph,

Since you're calling from a .com site, you should find Fastgraph online
or atleast in your area on some board.  Search for Fastgraph Lite, I haven't
looked at it in ages, but I remember file names like FGL_134A/B/C.ZIP.
Fastgraph itself is commerical.  If you have any back messages available
you'll find Fastgraph Lite.  It was posted recently.

Fastgraph offers routines for CGA to 4 planar VGA modes.  XLIB and XBLT
do the 4 planar VGA modes only.  Ted Gruber is the author, if you
have any pascal or shareware conferences on some PC networks in your
area you'll find him or his wife, Diana.  They'll mail you a disk if you
can't find it in your area.
