Ted Gruber Software Announces Fastgraph for Windows

Popular Programming Toolkit Allows Fast, Easy Windows Graphics Programming

October 1, 1995--Las Vegas, NV--Ted Gruber Software today announced the
release of Fastgraph for Windows, a programming toolkit for developing
games and graphics applications for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. The
Windows version of the award-winning Fastgraph software, distributed by
renowned book and software publisher The Coriolis Group, will make Windows
graphics programming easier than ever. Low-level functionality gives the
programmer control over RAM-to-video bitblits, RAM-to-RAM pixel
manipulations, graphics primitives, bitmaps, image files, transparent and
non-transparent buffer moves, palette management and color reduction,
double and triple buffering, printing, fonts, and smooth animation. 

"Emerging standards and new operating systems leave today's game programmer
puzzled," according to Diana Gruber, senior programmer at Ted Gruber
Software. "Is it safer to stick with DOS, invest in Windows 3.1
development, or make the leap to Windows 95? Fastgraph allows you to write
code that will work in all three environments. Just a few minor
modifications and a relink will give you multi-platform portability." 

Cross-Platform Functionality

Thousands of developers who developed games and graphics applications with
Fastgraph for DOS will find that porting their software to Windows and
Windows 95 is an easy task with the consistent, intuitive Fastgraph for
Windows API. Fast blitting capabilities are accomplished through the use
of standard Windows techniques, WinG, and DirectDraw. Both 16- and 32-bit
code are fully supported under Windows 3.1, as well as native 32-bit code
under Windows 95. 

Pricing and Availability

Fastgraph for Windows is scheduled to ship at the end of October for a
suggested retail price of $249. Current Fastgraph 4.0 customers are
eligible for a $100 discount on the Windows product. Fastgraph may be
ordered from The Coriolis Group by calling 1-800-410-0192.
