Hi there, I guess, Nik isn't around so I'm going to try all of you one at a time. I need to know if it is possible to get the application version number from within the VTP ADI driver. In other words, how can I tell if the application which loaded the ADI is 3DS v1, v2, v6, or FLITAPE, and so on… I asked this before and I didn't get an answer: Is there a way of getting the pointer to 3DS video buffer from within the VTP ADI? It would be great if I could do the whole thing from within the ADI and didn't have to have an IXP to handle that. If that doesn't exist, what's the likelyhood of it being implemented? If an ADI for an ABEKAS machine were to be written, this pointer would be needed as the image is transfered as a stream of bytes instead of grabbing the frame buffer. As it stands, I have an IXP to save the buffer out to a file and only then the ADI can pick it up when it receives the EDIT command. It would be great if I could have some answers before Siggraph! Thanks, Gus
