      PortSystem 1.0
      Name: aalib
      Version: 1.4rc5
      Category: graphics
      revision 3
      Maintainers: tim ccc.de
      Description: Portable ascii art GFX library
      Long Description: AA-lib is a low level gfx library just as many other libraries are. The main difference is that AA-lib does not require graphics device. In fact, there is no graphical output possible. AA-lib replaces those old-fashioned output methods with powerful ascii-art renderer. Now my linux boots with a nice penguin logo at secondary display (yes! Like Win95 does:) AA-lib API is designed to be similar to other graphics libraries. Learning a new API would be a piece of cake!
