Fullscreen DIVE is part of the Entertainment Toolkit, which is still in beta
AFAIK. The normal DIVE is in full release. Visual Age C++ 3.0 has a demo
for it. It's documented in the Multimedia Programming Reference Guide.
If I recall correctly, the Hobbes CD-ROM contains some info and demos.
IBM has a internet address for the Entertainment Toolkit.
Don't know the URL anymore, but I can look for it if you want me to. The last
part was something like /os2games.html

Toedeloe,
Jorgen de Gier
