Emilio, The IPAS developement kit is the C libraries and rules/guidelines for writing each of the four IPAS program types. Manual explains the data structures available to your IPAS code and how to access/modify it. The kit is fairly cheap. The expense comes from the requirement that you use either MetaWare's HighC or Watcom's C language AND the PharLap DOS extender SDK kit. PharLap was offering their SDK kit and MetaWare's HighC for around a grand. In that PharLap is the software used by 3DS to access all your extended memory so wonderfully, PharLap, and those two specific compilers it works with, are your current choices. It is an expense, but I must admit the MetaWare code screams. With the new classes of IPAS routines available in V3, I would guess that the IPAS devel. kit will soon be updated. Don Hanson
