i haven't downloaded the whole 10Mb morfit package.
i am using latest euphoria version for win/dos.
i don't have 3d graphics card, is it needed?


I just downloaded the Light API example again and it ran fine here.

I ran both the exe and from MEdit, both OK.

Did you try running the exe as well as from your editor? (Which editor? =
I have
had some trouble using DOS based editors).

The example does require 3d card. I think this is only to make the =
lighting work
though. You can turn 3d card on and off (CTRL-ALT-V) and it still runs, =
just
makes it look really bad.

I seem to remember that DirectX 6 or better is required for Morfit.=20
(BTW, Does anyone know what version of DX Win 2k uses. I thought it was =
still=20
DX 3 or something but the Morfit Light example just ran fine on Win 2k =
here
and I am very surprised)

*cough* they dont work right *cough*

Interesting. What "unzip" software are you using? It was zipped with=20
Power Archiver (I think....it may have been winzip, I have both)
Could the unzip software be messing up the dll?

You can mail me direct if you prefer.
