Hello All,
          I realize this is NOT strictly C related, however I'm sure many
          readers who don't have Net access may find it interesting..

I've just got hold of a file called PCGPE10.zip.
Personal Computer Game Programmers Encyclopedia V1.0

This PD archive is EXCELLENT and covers or directs you to the answers for
most of your GAME programming needs..     Here is a snippet:-

| History |
+---------+

The PC-GPE was conceived, designed and largely built by the same people who
keep the Usenet groups rec.games.programmer and comp.graphics.algorithms
alive. It was noticed that information required for even the most basic game
development was strewn out across the vast wastelands of the Internet and was
time consuming and annoying (if not down-right impossible) to obtain.

Most of us can't afford to go out and buy a book every time we want to look
up a particlar topic, so a bunch of us decided to grab the most commonly
sought-after free info and put it in one place.

Try the PCGPE 2 when it's released in a few days, (it'll be available from
x2ftp.oulu.fi in the /pub/msdos/programming/gpe directory). It covers the
basics such as thresholding, Bayer and error difusion (Floyd-Steinberg,
Burkes, Stucki etc).

Please excuse this off topic conversation Mr. Moderator..
I have NO connection with the project outside of appreciating its worth.
