You should get emx 0.8f (ftp-os2.nmsu.edu: pub/uploads/emx-0.8f, to be
moved to pub/os2/2.0/programming/emx-.08f; ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:
soft/os2/emx-.8f).  You can develop with emx and GCC 32-bit programs
which run both under OS/2 2.0 and DOS (DOS extended included) and it
comes with a library for 320x200x256 VGA graphics.
