Most of the docs are some simple linear algebra. They spell out the equations in the end for those who can't completely understand them.

I highly recommend this to anyone starting to make a 3d engine who doesn't know where to start (start with the math, not the polygon fillers, believe me! the fillers are trivial in comparison). See the bibliography for where to go next.

| Supposedly gets you past the 64k barrier in real mode - I have no clue what compiler this is supposed to compile for. It uses opcodes not allowed in BC's inline assembler, watcom doesn't use that kind of inline assembler (and doesn't need this extender anyway), and this is pointless for djgpp which only compiles 32bit pmode apps. I have neither TC (but considering that's a sub-set of BC I can assume it won't work) nor Quick C (but that's so old, it's inline assembler's probably incomplete too).

| A DOS extender for pmode asm programming - Has docs for useage and some extra miscellaneous routines that could be used for game or graphics programming in pmode. Honestly, if you want to do 100% asm development for pmode I'd suggest DOS32 or Tran's pmode. The author here credits Tran for some backbones to his system.

| Another DOS extender option. I didn't test this for usefulness. I doesn't look any more difficult to learn to use than Adam Seychell's (sp?) Dos32 or Thomas Pytel/Charles Scheffold's Pmode/w. How well it functions is another story. Full documentation available. Comes with a tetris clone presumeably made using the extender. No source.

| A combination of a dos extender and a demo library containing a lot of useful functions. It's very useful for intros because the tiny version is very small (including a sb and gus modplayer). C, Assembler

| Rating:
| A Pmode kernel program with some extra libraries. Has a sound library and many other extras to make up for the fact that it's rather new and things such as midas, GUSPlay, or whatnot won't work with it. It's picky about assembling (tasm32+wlink only). No real documentation to help you get started.

| A DOS protected mode extender - Comes with full source and looks fairly complete including real mode call back support. Worth giving a look at if you'll find it easier to use than Tran's pmode or DOS32.

| Xi Development System, a pmode extender. Uses tlink in the end, but works from watcom and tasm. Possibly a contender if you're writing a 64k intro and need a pmode extender. I'm unsure of it's stability, but it's small.

| Source for "asynchronous" comm connections - A library meant for opening COM lines and other serial line connections. It's supposedly asynchronous (but maybe in a later version for this only supports one). Not too demo scene relevant, but it could make for great modem-modem networking in a game.
