"Learn DirectX 7 in 24 Hours"
Author
From what I gather from comparing the code there isn''t much difference except for a few parameter and function calls needing different items from the code. I do agree that it would be a lot more sensible to have DirectX 7 code in the same source but what the hey? All DirectX versions are comapatible aren''t they?
DirectX 7 is backward compatable to DirectX6, but DirectX6 is not FORWARD compatable to DirectX 7 (that wouldnt make any sense) If something is written In DX7, they probably use the DX7 Interfaces, which dont exist in DX6. The main differences between 6 & 7 -
Hardware T&L support
Sound(DirectMusic) Enhancements
Force Feedback
Numerous performance improvements
General Improvements( too many to list)

Yes, that is true that more recent versions of DirectX are not backwards comaptible with more previous versions of DirectX, but isnt that what the QueryInterface() function is for?
At least, that''s how I understand it.
