Jonas, Great great great! I think these are fairly simple and straight-forward questions. Does CDK require a math-coprocessor to run the sofware written with it? My low end target of the software is a 386DX-25 with a plain-jane SVGA card with at least a VESA driver for it, and 4 megs of RAM. I know it doesn't currently have texture-mapping, and have heard that it will in the next version, but can you give me ANY information as to when the next version will be shipped? I have been talking with Sense8 about the WorldToolKit and they are *very* agressive about their Windows based kit. I can't wait too long, theirs is here now, and they claim it runs at a higher frame rate under Windows than the CDK does under DOS. I don't want to write this software under Windows, but I will to get this product to market. I really like the object oriented approach to the CDK. Is it written in assembly with the methods really wrapped in a C++ wrapper? This would mean it is very fast (assuming there aren't alot of virtual functions). Speed is the name of the Game. I saw, in your notes, that there is a distributed networking protocol of sorts included as a separate class hierarchy, as well as a serial class hierarchy. Can these be used together to create a serial based distribution of a simulation? <I know that last one wasn't simple, but I would like to know> And finally, the Watcom C/C++ 32 compiler claims to be AutoDesk compatible, yet the info on CDK only mentions Zortech and MetaWare High C/C++. Can the CDK be used with Watcom C/C++ 32? Thank you for answering these questions for me. Your answers will determine whether I purchase your software or not as well as give me some insight into what AutoDesk considers a Virtual Reality solution. Curt
