Yeah, but I already have a card, and the card does work nice, its just so
lousy supported.
And I wouldnt know about DirectX versus OpenGL as to which works more
logical.
But as soon as the Ati-OpenGL driver is out, I will give it a shot.. have to
do something with Win32 thingie some day... though it sounds like a group
project.. I suppose it wont be easy.

No, it are seperate tools.
One writes the code for your GUI for you, the other lets you edit the code
in a way simerlair to the MS-DOS editor.
