People. If you write an NT application in, say, Visual C++ 2.0 (32 bit version) that takes advantage of whatever processor, all you have to do is click a radio button in the compiler configuration. It's not difficult. Quick panicing. I'm pouring through all these messages about multiprocessors and alpha. I have no affiliation with Yost or Autodesk, but as a software developer I would almost GUARANTEE that 3DS-NT will come on a CD ROM just like any other NT application. And in that root directory, there will be 3 subdirs: Ix86, MIPS, ALPHA. Depending on which platform you are running, the installation will be hugely complicated. You will double click on the type of processor you have, then you will double click on the program called SETUP.EXE. I personally believe we are in great hands with AutoD and Yost. Also, get over the command line issue. It's going to DIE! Win95 is there to ween those who don't know how to use Windows Help from the command prompt. It's internal API commands are "supposed" to be FULLY NT COMPATIBLE. This does not necessarily mean 3DS-NT will run under Win95, but was it does mean is that Micro$oft is headed away from the command prompt. Either get over it, or close your doors by 1998. NT is easy to install. It is stable. It is here to stay. It is coming to your TV. Wake up! Ah… If any of this you found offensive, please forgive me. I just had to get this off my chest.
