Hi Rod,
     I tried it and it worked great.  Even had an animated world running at
an amazing 3 fps.  I searched through the genereated .e file, and couldn't
find a wrapper for the mentioned:
Morfit_engine_activate_DirectX
routine.  Did they leave it out of the VB version?  This was the 3.0 sdk for
vb 6.
I was thinking I might get a major fps jump with this enabled.  I tried
activating the 3d card, but didn't get an increase, and tried the ctr-alt-v
that it mentioned to activate the card, but got an error.(it did generate a
3d card file though)
any help would be appreciated.  Thanks for the glimps into Morfit. (would
the c version be faster?)
