THE VGA EDITOR 1.30 is available as !VGAE130.ZIP (released July, 1994)
Multi-function graphics editor and animator with full mouse support. THE VGA
EDITOR creates graphics files that are fully portable into C and Pascal
programs (with the use of THE BEST LIBRARY). It is a vital tool to graphic
software programmers and is ideal for drawing pictures and animations. It
will also read in Windows .ICO files for editing.
