What directory did see these. All I've seen is a BGI toolkit, a BGI font
editor, and some BGI fonts.  I would like to use the full capabilities
of the 1000 CGA+ (640x200X16).  A preliminary examination of BGI toolkit
(it's in TASM) indicates that creating my own driver is a major task but not
impossible.  The "fractint" program can do 640x200x16 perfectly (at least
on my SL). Source is available for "fractint" on SIMTEL.

If someone has a BGI for the TANDY 1000 extended CGA modes I would be
gratefull to receive a copy.  As I'm just getting up to speed with TC,
I'm not ready for TASM just yet.
