Petal is the Portable, Extensible, Transparent, Artistic Library.
It is a fast, 32-bit, C graphics library supporting DOS (DJGPP, VGA,
VESA: banking, pmode banking, and lfb) and Linux (X11 XShm and DGA).
Petal was written a while back by code<sup>x</sup> software, and
is now being released in the LGPL.  neuraldk intends to rewrite and
update petal to support new operating systems (eg, QNX and the BeOS)
and possibly new languages (C++ and inCode).<br>
<br>
neuraldk cannot offer support for this product, but will support
all future versions written solely by neuraldk.  Due to the age
of this product, we've had to rearrange and rewrite portions
of the source code, and recompile using current libraries.
Throughout the process, portions of code <i>may</i> have been
broken.  Unfortunately, neuraldk cannot spend any more time on
legacy products such as petal 1.0, and as such, we must
release it <i>as is</a>.
