- That is quite true. On the other hand, the needed .bgi and /or .chr
- files can, be linked to the executable to make distributing them
- separately unnecessary. For example I have linked egavga.bgi to
- most of my graphics programs. Usually only that .bgi lest that the
- executable becomes unnecessarily bloated.

- P.S. How to do that is explained in the familiar reference below.
- The information given in the original manuals is not very easy to
- figure out, so I have tried to make it a bit clearer.
