Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's a drop-in replacement for the 
graph unit. It runs TP7 BGI (or FPC programs for go32v2 for that matter) 
graphic demos with only a recompilation under Windows or Linux. The only 
reason we haven't replaced the regular graph unit yet, is backward 
compatibility with the previous win32 graph unit, which has some extra 
windowsisms, which aren't compatible with ptcgraph (and will never be, 
because they are not platform independent). And, as you probably know, 
backward compatibility is followed religiously by the FPC project ;-)
