I need some hints (or some code) that will allow me to do 3-D graphing in
mode $13 (320x200x256) under TP6.0 . Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? There are several possible answers to your question: If you just want to use that mode, there's a BGI file available from Borland to do it. (Or is it now included in TP 6.0? A quick scan didn't tell me.) If you want to do scientific graphics in that mode (3-D plots, etc.), then you might want to buy the Quinn-Curtis Science/Engineering/Graphics toolkit. It has a lousy interface, but is workable in any BGI supported graphics mode. If you want to do general graphics, things like animation, then a better purchase is the Acromole library, from Acrobits. It has very fast primitive graphics routines, including 3-D transformations. A better interface than QC, but you'll have to do some work to figure it out since the documentation is pretty ugly. QC S/E/G tools are available from most mail order houses ($US89, or $US100 list). Their number is 617-965-5660, in Newton, MA, USA. Acromole is available only from Acrobits, as far as I know. It's $US39; the phone numbers are (800) ACROBITS or (801)966-2580, in Salt Lake City, UT, USA. Duncan Murdoch dmurdoch@watstat.waterloo.edu
