As long as I''m going through the hassle of getting the compiler setup, I thought I''d spare future users the trouble by documenting the compiler settings. I also removed DirectInput 3 so users can use newer versions. I also provided a base WinMain from which you can quickly insert code to start your own projects without the hassle of removing excess material from the startup functions. The code is on the webserver under uploads. Nothing is in it that isn''t in the demo version, so if you want a copy you can email me too. ra -- kk -- ar @ icnt.net (Remove the -- and put the letters together to get my email address)
