- I was about to say the same thing but held back as I didn't want to
- start a flame war. And I checked out the newsgroups that were
- suggested to the posters and they don't cover stuff for C or any
- programmers. So where would someone get information, snippets and code
- from? I felt really put out that nobody would discuss graphics or
- music applications as its "not a part of C". I am now afraid to ask
- for advice on demo programming here lest I be pushed off into the
- comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos newsgroup where they don't even discuss source
- code or the actual programming of any kind. comp.sys.ibm.pc.music
- don't discuss programming either. There is no comp.sys.ibm.pc.* for
- graphics programming. Further, in the comp.programming groups one
- would get flamed for asking about programming graphics in DOS or C as
- its not to be "about a specific language". The other newsgroups people
- get referred to are of even less help.
