Long ago I posted a set of graphics routines to do things like text
in 8 and 14 line high characters, lines, filled rectangles, and
open and filled ellipses to the net. It was called "egafast" (or was it
vgafast?) and was written in assembly language. It is very easy to change
this thing to do any resolution up to 600x800x16 colors. It is
not easy to change it for 16 colors at higher than 600x800 or for any
resolution at 256 colors.
