ive downloaded the microsloth directX SDK....YECCH!
openGL...defnly the way to go... heh, even mr. ID software thinks so...
read his .plan/profile and the interview he gave about his opinion
re:directX...
directX is messy and really hard to grasp/implement...
don't believe me? download the SDK...(i would sincerely love
to have someone prove me wrong and write a wrapper for directX
that is euph based and easy to implement with...cannae be done
IMHO without *gobs* of clumps of hair lying around the computer
desk of the unfortunate coder that tries this)

get a new card :)
my vote? the glide drivers...defnly the ticket... wrapper for
glide or openGL (which 3dfx supports also) and those cards are
cheap now...baseline 3dfx card can be got for 50-80 bucks if u look...
considering what it does...cheap.

well, see, to me there is a difference between an IDE and a GUI.
GUI=Graphic User Interface=end user (also coders of course)
IDE=Integrated Development Environment=coder
i'm thinking the original question was asking for a Visual IDE, not a
Visual GUI writer... and some of the editors available currently act
like IDE's in a minute way....
now david's gui designer/code writer...is it a visual IDE?
is it an integrated development environment?
dunno...do you?

i defnly do -not- consider the QB editor to be an integrated
development environment...close in some ways, severely lacking tho...
i'll hush now, enuff food for thought :)
