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.
