I corrected the zbuffer error by setting
PR_Settings.UseWindowed = 0;
in the land1.c file.
It then gave me a setpalette failed while loading surface.
I havent even looked at this example before so I'm not sure whats causing it, but it doesn't happen with my g400 only voodoo 2.
Just more info.

PR_D3D_CreateZBuffer
The voodoo2 problem with the zbuffer is attributed to trying to run a windowed application. There are other known bugs in the land1 example with the latest libraries and I'm working on them.
I tried PR 3.03 but it do not work on both my Permedia2 and Voodoo2. Both cards are using the latest drivers and DirectX 7.
The diagnostic log shows that Voodoo2 is unable to create the Zbuffer, the Permedia2 has problem create surface for the textures.
The compilation is okay and i have set to /Zp4 before compiling.
Reverting back to PR3.00 works fine.
I've dropped Glide and OpenGL because they were too much to keep up with. As you can see I'm having trouble just getting the Direct3D version up to date with DX7.
The original release of PR 3 was well tested on many cards, but the latest DX7 version has not been. I've given it out to people to test and you should report any problems to me. I've done a lot of new work, on DX7, 3D Now, changing the structure byte alignment, Character Studio playback, and the PRO Editor. There's bound to be some problems here and there and I'm gradually fixing them up in the new versions.
