The author does not provide any of the key graphic formats that would have made the book more useful than just a PC graphic trainer. The author also decides to do most of his GIF decoding in assembly, which leaves thoughs unfamiliar with PC graphics & assembly not knowing what happened. For anyone wanting a brief overview of PC graphics & some brief info. about different graphic file formats (that are not provided), I recommend the book. bigmac@inside.happy.meal Mike McDonald
