DirectX8.1 CD for those who want it
Author
G''day!
I know there are a lot of people who want the SDKs on a CD, whether it''s because they re-install periodically and want it handy or they don''t have high-speed internet or whatever.
Microsoft has stated that there will NOT be a 8.1 CD made available by them. If you''d like a copy of the SDK on CD, send me an email I''ll have to check shipping costs and such, but it''ll be $5 or less within North America. If you''re outside North America and want a copy let me know and I''ll find out what it''ll cost.

I appreciate what you''re doing
I''m downloading the sdk right now (around 30megs so far and fingers/toes crossed) but if I get cutoff I will think about your offer. Interestingly, getright won''t pick it up. Earlier today, I downloaded 133megs of platform sdk core and once about halfway I got cutoff and had to babysit the computer so I wouldn''t get cutoff next time. It was a 9 hour download on my 56k modem. Wish MS would implement a resume feature into the installer. Incidentaly, the core sdk comes with docs also so you don''t have to have subscription with ms. For main entrance to docs look up "platsdk.*" file. I''m really impressed by GDI+ though. Transform functions made it into win98. The whole gdi+ is object based with inheritance and looks like it''s easier to use. If you''re on win98/Me don''t forget to download gdiplus.dll redist. file from ms site. Enough of my ramblings, I''m hitting the bed and when I wake up I better be still connected

Hey, where can I find DirectX 8.1 for download. On Microsoft's site I found only 8.0a. Or this is the one you call 8.1?
Oops, I found it, sorry for the inconvenience

I don't trust those crappy cardboard mailing sleeves, I've had a number of CDs get damaged, so I'm going to use a padded envelope.
It's going to be $5 US within Canada or the United States. If you live anywhere else, let me know and I'll check what rates I can get.
I'll take payment from PayPal (preferred) or International Money Order (make sure it says it's 'International' or I can't cash it). Non-Canadian personal cheques have a $5 service fee attached and take a while to clear, so I don't want to take them.
I don't have an international price yet, but it looks like it might be a fair bit, I'll check with some couriers too if it looks bad, who knows.
Send me an email and we can get all the details worked out. I'm not expecting a large number of orders, so turn-around time should be pretty quick, especially if you use PayPal.

I too think this might be illeagle. I am not real sure but it sounds like it is. Not trying to be an ass just trying to help look out for you b/c i would hate for someone to get in trouble with something like that.
It is a good idea and indeed a service to those who need it though.

I''m not selling the SDK, it is freely available. All I''m doing is charging for the cost of materials and shipping. All told I think I end up with a buck for personal effort, not too unreasonable.
I am contacting Microsoft to get their impression on it.
Stay Casual,
