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


Here are some simple examples to get you started with PTC.

rand32.cpp          // a simple random putpixel program in 32bit color
rand16.cpp          // the same, just in 16bit color
256color.cpp        // shows how to do 256 color graphics using PTC
primary.cpp         // grabs the primary surface to write directly to screen
profile.cpp         // measures the performance of the PTC converter routines
modelist.cpp        // prints a list of all available video modes
image.cpp           // loads an image and displays it


to compile the examples use the batch files:

eg. wc11 rand32       (compiles rand32.cpp with Watcom C++ 10.x) 
    wc10x modelist    (compiles modelist.cpp with Watcom C++ 10.x)
    djgpp2x profile   (compiles profile.cpp using DJGPP 2.x)


Please read the accompanying text files for each example program for more
information. If you are just starting out with PTC, a good example program to
try first is the "rand32.cpp" example. The text file "rand32.txt" provides a
lot of information about PTC and how to use it effectively in your own
programs.
