    As far as I know, the latest is the copy you found on
SIMTEL20. It's being released as shareware now, probably to
avoid competing with the big boys in the commercial market.

    I used an early version of it (sorry, I don't remember which
number exactly). I wrote some routines in assembly language for
using the Rainbow firmware. While this isn't the same as graphics,
if you'd like a copy I'd be glad to send them to you.
