Alright, about the current release of 3D Studio. Can 3D Studio, Release 3: -be run in a full screen dos session under Windows 3.1? -be run in a full screen dos session under Windows NT 3.1? I heard from somewhere that 3DS can't run under WinNT because WinNT's memory manager doesn't support realbreaks, a requirement that the PharLap extender uses. When I tried running Acad Rel.12 in a dos box and it, too, said that the PharLap extender couldn't use realbreaks. I then installed the pharlap.386 file, as stated in the documentation, and Acad worked. Can't you write up the equivalent of a "pharlap.386" for WinNT? -be run in a full screen dos session under OS/2 2.1? -if it can run under WinNt and not OS/2 or vice versa, why not? -do spline modelling using NURBS? What are the REALISTIC system requirements to run 3D Studio? From a beginner's perspective, how hard is it to use 3DS? Can you suggest any good 3DS primers?
