                           About Fastgraph
                           ---------------

Fastgraph is a programmer's graphics library.  It is a collection of
low-level functions that are designed to give the programmer complete
control over a DOS-based IBM-compatible computer.  Fastgraph is
written in highly optimized assembly language, and is characterized
by blindingly fast speed. Here are some of the features of Fastgraph:

 -- Support for Microsoft C, Turbo C and C++, Borland C++, QuickC,
    Power C, Microsoft FORTRAN, Turbo Pascal, QuickBASIC
 -- Small, Medium and Large memory models
 -- 22 different video modes, including VGA, extended VGA, EGA, MCGA,
    Hercules, Tandy, CGA and various text modes
 -- Automatic video mode detection
 -- Graphics primitives: points, lines, rectangles, ellipses
 -- Flood fills
 -- Scrolling and panning
 -- Bitmaps, masked and unmasked, mode-dependent and mode-independent
 -- Clipping
 -- Dithering
 -- Replacement/and/or/xor modes
 -- Physical, virtual and logical video page management
 -- Fast area transfer from any video page to any other video page
 -- Pixel run displays
 -- PCX support
 -- Utility programs to create and edit graphics files
 -- ROM Text and software characters
 -- Animation
 -- Mouse, keyboard, joystick, timing, music and sound effects
 -- Programmer defined world space coordinate system
 -- Fadein, fadeout special effects
 -- 450 page manual
 -- 130 example programs
 -- Voice, BBS, and echo-mail technical support

Fastgraph/Light is a subset of Fastgraph.  Fastgraph/Light is
shareware.  It does everything Fastgraph does, excluding functions
requiring real numbers, such as the world space coordinate system,
and the variable-sized character font.  Fastgraph/Light requires a
runtime module FGDRIVER.EXE which is loaded as a TSR.  The
professional version of Fastgraph is a linked-library requiring no
external drivers.

Fastgraph has been used in the following shareware and commercial
programs: Scramble, the Las Vegas EGA Casino, MicroBucks II,
MicroBucks III, Video Poker a la Carte, Big Bertha, Klondike, Keno,
Test Drive III, Day of the Viper, Gunboat, Steel Thunder, Once Upon a
Time volumes I, II, and III, Puppet Playhouse, BattleCruiser 3000 AD,
Eye of Horus, Las Vegas Bingo Club, Cyberwars, Jazz Magic, more.
