==========================================================
The (shareware) SPX library allows Turbo/Borland Pascal 7.0 programmers to
EASILY write games in the native 320x200x256 VGA mode. It includes all the
routines needed for a game. FLC/CEL Animation, Sound, text and various input
devices, advanced graphic techniques, parallax scrolling, tile and hex map
scrolling, expanded memory, displaying sprites on layers, 3D perspective
drawing, 3D objects ... buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, scroll bars.
Advanced features such as direct screen writes. Complete control of the
keyboard to allow of simultaneous multiple key presses. Direct access
to sound devices. Eight real time clocks for acurate timing regardless of
