Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Precedence: bulk Hi! I'm not a newbie to programming, but however to DJGPP. I have never used libraries from others for two apparent reasons: 1. They are usually not free to use. 2. You always hear how slow they are. But now when i've started doing djgpp, I see that most stuff is free. Well, here it comes: have I been blindfolded? Are libraries just _it_? Please, anyone, tell me about your own experiences with libraries. I would also like a list of the free libraries for djgpp. Has anyone ever used any of those libs., that you need to notify the author before including in commercial progs.? Did you have to pay? Thanx in anticipation :-) -Niels M.- -- \ \ \ \ \ \ \ / / / / / / / \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ #|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|# | Brought to you by Niels M.
