Hi, 
   I recently pulled 3DLIB.ARC from wuarchive, and later from simtel, from
the turbo-c directory.  In neither case when I unpacked the file was I able
to get the executable to work right, It would draw the objects, and a weird
grid in the lower half of the screen which looked like random bytes put to
the screen.  The objects would wobble a bit for a whi9le, and then the demo 
would end. 

When I tried compiling with the library given I was unable to get anything
displayed (except on occassion the same lower screen grid). I compiled in
all memory models (documentation doesn't say which are 
compatible/incompatible).

Has anyone got this package to work? (My system is a 386 with 4meg and
Dos 4, by the way.)
