Note that Xenix lacks plot and graph. The only PC UNIX which
supports them is PC/IX, as far as I know. Having said that,
there is an IOCTL call in IBM Xenix which allows you to get the
address of the bitmapped display (as a far pointer?). I haven't
looked at it in a while, but I saw it demonstrated and have
looked at the writeup in the manual.
