Unfortunately this is very system dependent (and I wouldn't like to be
parochial and risk offending Mike Feldman by describing PC graphics in
excruciating detail ;-), and I don't think you'll find any Ada book that
will tell you anything specific about graphics programming. As the book
was already hitting the 500 page mark I left out anything vaguely system
dependent, as noted in chapter 20: in this case representation clauses
and packages like System and Interfaces.C.
Since you talk about "VGA graphics", would I be correct in assuming
you're talking about MS-DOS? If so, try this URL:

In this lot is a copy of vgapck05.zip, which is a copy of Jerry van
Dijk's VGA package for MS-DOS, and svga01.zip, his SVGA package.
