About a month ago I asked about BGI printer/plotter driver packages for
Turbo/Borland Pascal/C. Thanks to all the people who answered. I'll
include a summary, briefly describing the individual toolkits. The infos
should all be up to date, since the details are all taken from fax
messages or pamphlets which I received during the last weeks.

I didn't check the shareware packages which are available, if somebody
can supply similar information on those, please drop me a line, I'll be
happy to include them in the next update. If you can spot any incorrect
or missing information, or other pieces of information you'd like to
include, please let me know.
