Jeff,
Yep, your Border's sounds just like ours. I guess it must be a chain. And
they don't even rag on you for reading the books there without buying.
I'll upload my PASCAL implementation of the PLANETS algorithm. It's not too
bad, though a bit slow being all in Pascal. Next weekend I'll try to get the
files together that are needed and upload source and .EXE files.
Sorry about the DX being out of reach. How about a 386 motherboard with one
of those Cyrix chips (DLC I think) that make it "sort of" a 486 but without the
copro? You may still get faster speed with 486 emulation of the copro than a
"real" 287 FPU. I dunno, never seen a benchmark.
Oh well, one thing I'll say – if you can get a decent frame rate on a 286, it
should really BLAZE on a fast machine! <g>
Regards,
Fred Trafton
