It was never there.
Also, DSDP was not updated for a long time. I'm now downloading
again the entire DSDP directory from the FTP to the 486 i'm on,
so I can work on it again.. needless to say, the DSDP was lost
when the P350's disk was killed. Thanks god for backups.

Some programs do graphics while in text-mode by tinkering
with the graphics of the video char-set. Look at Norton Commander 5
and almost every utility in DR-DOS 7+ that can use a graphic
interface for example (DOSBook, Setup, Undelete..)
It is a rather intresting way to make graphics. But i'm not sure
that this kind of tricks will work on every computer.. but i'm
no expert on this field.
