  1 fload xplgraph

  $12 SetVid  \ 640x480x16

  6 value color

  xmax 2/ ymax 2/ 100 circle

  key drop

  $03 SetVid

Too easy ;)

Circle only took 6 mS to draw under DOSBOX.  Tried it with BGI graphics
and it was 8 mS.  The BGI is all machine code so if it were going to be
better, I'd expect to see that reflected.
