And you can get a 320 x 240 screen that actually has almost has square
looking pixels..

Yep. Speed readers are us.

I was probably a bit too. The only thing I meant by "agendas" was that we
have a client that is paying us to develop code for him. I am pretty sure
that he doesn't want the source code floating around on the internet. We
maintained the technological right to it but releasing code before the
project is completed and on the market is bad for business so to speak.

I think that 3D will be available in DOS. Only the rendering part of the
raycaster will have to be assembly. As far as TCP/IP there is already DOS
ppp stack available and I have some source code to IPX routines that I
might try to convert into Euphoria.
