A package called "xspecs.library" is available on Compu*erve's AMIGATECH interest group. This may or may not be what is shipped in the "Devo (sounds like techno-punk-music to me) Kit", but it should get you started. It includes a runtime Amiga library that lets you draw lines and sprites in a virtual 3d space, no fuss, no muss. I was quiet surprised at how little code it took to get something running. BTW, if you're coding in C, there is a seperate file that contains the C glue files and a bit of sample code. >Charles Hymes Charles - If you asking for emailed responses, could you please post the results, There seems to be as much interest in X-Specs now as there was when they where introduced. (I guess they where really a "product before its time." /// /// The opinions expressed may not reflect the official position of my employer. \\\/// (Of course that depends on which position they're in!) \XX/
