Keywords: are the features of the graphics lib any good?


Hi,

I just got the hype sheet from our friend Phillipe & Co. hawking
their latest wares, AKA Turbo C version 1.5.  Actually doesn't
sound too too bad.  They claim that now it comes with a graphics
lib that provides 70 some intrinsic functions.  They claim to
support CGA, MDA, EGA, VGA, Herc, ATT-400 for graphics.  I suppose only
text windows for MDA.  It's nice that they claim to support so many
graphics goodies, but I noticed that they avoided saying that
devices are supported at their respective full resolutions.  Like,
do we really get something better than CGA emulation on a VGA
device, I wonder.

Anybody pop for the $33.5 or $15 (if you bought 1.0 in the last few
weeks) upgrade fee and have the beast yet?  I'd be willing if the
graphics are decent.
