Have you heard of MetaWindows from MetaGraphics?  It is a subset
of Mac's Quick Draw (so I undferstand...never used Mac).  Has support for
points, lines, rectangles, polys, ports, local/global/virtual bitmaps,
boo-coo display adapters (for PC/AT/PS2, etc.), mouse support, much more.
Beats the sox off Halo and the others for fast EGA bit-blitting and
drawing (if there copuld be such a concept as "fast EGA" - what a crappy
"standard" ... get a T.I. 34010 ... I'll get down now fer anyun shoots).
Don't know about the 8514 specific as I use an AT clone, but I've seen
lots of PS/2 modes in thier list of supported adapters (and they have a  
new version even more powerful for the 34010 so I hear).  For more info,
contact:

		1-800-332-1550 to order
		1-408-438-1550 for info

Note: I don't have any vested (or jacketed) interest.  I'm just a
satisfied customer.
