Is this the same guy that writes for Dr. Dobb's?  If so, I believe he was
going to put out a book based on his series of articles on PC graphics.
I'm pretty sure the publisher was going to be M&T books.  If you can't locate
the book, look for back-issues of Dr. Dobb's.  Also, I found his code
somewhere on anonymous ftp.  Can't remember where, but if I was looking, I'd
start with wuarchive.wustl.edu.  Good luck.
