=============================================

WHAT'S ON THIS CD?


The companion CD-ROM contains all the 
source code listings and demo programs 
discussed in this book located in the 
Source subdirectory. Michael Abrash's 
legendary texture-mapped 3-D animation 
library, X-Sharp, in its most 
recent version is also included.

As a bonus, you will also find the text 
to Michael's book Zen Of Assembly Language, 
in the ZenAsmLg subdirectory (Chapter 6 
is unavailable).

To view Chapters A through K located in 
the ChapsA-K subdirectory, install 
Adobe Acrobat 3.0 located in the 
Acrobat subdirectory. 

Please be aware that we cannot 
assist you in working less than 
standard compilers and assemblers.  
A86 in particular understands 
non-standard syntax and you will have
to modify the code for assembly under 
A86.  We cannot provide any advice there 
since we do not use A86.

The X-Sharp library exists in several 
implementations of gradually increasing 
sophistication.  Each of these libraries 
is also present as a self-extracting archive.  
There is an UNPAK.BAT in each directory containing 
an X-Sharp archive that will execute the archive 
with that very important -d switch.

The most recent version, X-Sharp 22, is stored 
in the subdirectory Xsharp22.  Use X-Sharp 22 
for all new work; the others are stored in the 
chapter subdirectories where they are discussed, 
and should be used for explanatory purposes 
in conjunction with the chapter text only.

Good luck and (as Michael is fond of saying)
work many wonders!
