Is there anyone that has found a library which will allow the programmer
to set a palette of either 24bit RGB 8 bit units - 0-255 or VGA 6bit 0-63. 
Allow the programmer to a single array :

 
#define VIDRES_Y 200 // like the screen height
- whoa 1200??  Yeuh I'm there...
#define VIDRES_X 320 // like the screen width
- I can have 1024??? Kewl...

BYTE pDisplay[VIDRES_Y][VIDRES_X];

#define PutPixel( pMap, x, y,c )    \
    ( *( pMap + ( ( y ) * VIDRES_X ) + (x) )
= c )

Or a suitible library with projections which might be an allegro DirectX
port... I'm looking for this under NT... cause well - it's easier to do
with at least a pretend parallel OS underneath you....

There were some links mentioned in May 97 about a page with Driect X
3.0 ported to be used with b17 of gnuwin32.  Later Sep(?) 97 he said
he has been away a while and was working on Direct X 5.0... If you happen
to know this person - or happen to be this person... (hmmm)  please
respond with an updated address....
