"Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output 
devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window 
System, win32, and image buffers. Experimental backends include OpenGL 
(through glitz), Quartz, XCB, PostScript and PDF file output.

Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media 
while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available 
(eg. through the X Render Extension).

The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of 
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo including stroking and filling 
cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, 
and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be 
transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.)

Cairo is implemented as a library written in the C programming 
language, but bindings are available for several different programming 
languages.

Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or 
modified under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public 
License (LGPL) version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version 
1.1. "

Updated OS/2 binary (cairo102.dll),  OS/2 development (DLL and 
headers), OS/2 source changes, and patched Cairo source available for
