I picked up my copy of BGI10.Zip from a local BBS a couple of years ago. I 
think I saw it on chyde while glancing through the index. 

Basically it allows you to create .BGI and .CHR files. The .CHR files are 
the simplest to create since all you have to do is grab an existing one and 
modify it. The .BGI files are a little more difficult since you need 
specific information on your video board and have to create a driver for 
that board. 

It comes with 6 or 7 .CHR files and 1 .BGI file (VGA256.BGI). Unfortunately 
they don't BGIOBJ with the Turbo C++ (version 3.0 of BGIOBJ).

I thought I'd check here and see if anyone else had a newer version before 
attempting Borland.
