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: http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/software/libs/ 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------- John English | mailto:je@brighton.ac.uk Senior Lecturer | http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je Dept. of Computing | ** NON-PROFIT CD FOR CS STUDENTS ** University of Brighton | -- see http://burks.bton.ac.uk -----------------------------------------------------------------
