I don't have it on hard drive so searched on 'svgalib paint program +po

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/apps/graphics/draw/!INDEX.html
(also at sunsite.unc.edu and other mirrors)

Now also at

Unfortunately, most LCD monitors do not display SVGAlib properly 
(especially not if you use framebuffer video mode - I have one laptop that 
will do SVGAlib in VGA mode).  I have been using laptops to reduce energy 
consumption from April to November (20 watts instead of several times that 
even with LCD monitor).

I compiled one framebuffer VGA viewer (fbjpeg - in an FB package at my 
site) to replace zgv, and will eventually try again to compile a 
framebuffer PDF viewer to replace the svgalib one svp.
