| Zed 3d - a document explaining the maths you'll need for 3d. Word and postscript formats of the same file. Zed has an attention to detail and a great way to explain all the math. 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.

Crappy Texture Map by Mandrill /code/3d/trifill/texmap/ctm.zip

| Crappy Texture Map. At least you know what code should be doing what. The filler looks familiar (the register lay out). The texture 'swims' so I'm not sure this is a routine to emulate.

| | This is a little document that explains how to code a tiled texture mapper that handles any power of 2 texture sizes. The document contains some little C code to get you started. To fully understand the doc you should have already read MRI's fatmap.txt and fatmap2.txt.

| Detects what type of OPL chip is on your sound card - An ad for audiotrix more than anything else. No code. It looks like there should be more files in the archive than there are.

FreePack DOS extender by Narech Koumar of Supernar Systems Intl. /code/hardware/pmode/dos32a.zip

| 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 serial coding magazine. Sorting, matrix algebra, geometric transformations, more complex 3d, still adding to that game. (This magazine has come a long way since issue one and is entirely progressive.)

| Simple vector and matrix functions. Useless unless you know what they do, and easier to make than use if you do know. Correct code (and math) at the very least.

| 164 byte pcx loader. Only works on 320x200x256 images (because of video mode and failing to check the image's actual size) and doesn't explain the pcx file format (which is more or less trivial)
