CGFX is the pretty C interface to the windint screen driver, for both
text and graphics modes.

Been there, done that, you have my deepest sympathy.

I know for starters you need to detab and do eol conversions on it.

>(Yeah, I know it's loosely based on K&R 1.)

But it does have definite size limitations, and my buddy's been
hacking on BIG unix machines too long.  He thinks nothing of producing
a 15-20 megabyte executable.  I told him he needs to go back to CP/M
and learn to do things right again. ;-)
