i know that every now and again people ask "is there any information
on this" or "are there any Brazil papers yet" and that the answer is
always something along the lines of "if there was anything, we'd have
shown it to you" or "big changes are just around the corner, so it's a
bad time right now", but i feel compelled all the same to ask if there's
any information on this "newer graphics model". it's been years since
i heard forsyth mention in passing that there was such a thing (called
"brio" at the time, i think), but i still don't know a thing about it.

if there's nothing written up, is there any chance of a peek at the
man pages or the header file?

there are, of course, many other things i'd like to know about, but i can
hear the groans of the only people who could answer my questions
already, even at this distance in space and time, so i won't push my
luck...
