I'm trying to find C or assembly language sources (or a robust library
with Microsoft C calling conventions) for some simple graphics
routines that can drive a Video7 Fastwrite VGA card in 640 X 480, 256
color mode.  I need to be able to do the simple operations that the
Microsoft C graphics library performs, but using more than the 16
colors that they support in 640 X 480 mode.  Specifically, I need
block reads and writes, lines, points, and setting up a custom
palatte.

Can anyone point me to anything (PD or otherwise) that seems to fit
the bill?  I have Halo 88, but it is really too much for what I need
to do here.  I really just want a replacement for the Microsoft
graphics routines that have a little more flexibility about modes.

Thanks in advance,
