You can find a hacker's version of a mode X library at
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in the file outgoing/sdollins/modex.zip.  Friends
and I wrote this library specifically for a networked 3-D space
dogfight game -- to be released RSN under the name Netspace -- so it
may not be as general as you might like.

The library uses the large memory model and includes assembly code and
object files for both Microsoft and Borland compilers.  The only docs
are comments in the header files, but, of course, true hackers will
prefer to refer directly to the code. ;^)  Have a blast trying to step
through the self modifying line routine.

A single player prototype for the game is in the file xspace.zip in
the same directory.  It requires a 32-bit machine for the fixed-point
math/vector routines.

Note that my address for comments/questions has changed from the one
mentioned in the library.


Anyone have the time and resources to start up the CFD for
comp.graphics.pc?  Such a group is LONG overdue IMHO as I'm sure many
readers of both this group and comp.graphics would agree.
