SHORT: AMI port of 3Dgpl Version 2 (3-D Graphics Reference and Library)
AUTHOR:     David Marshman <ami@silvan.demon.co.uk>
UPLOADER: David Marshman <marshy@silvan.demon.co.uk>
VERSION:    1.0
TYPE:          Graphics
DISTRIBUTION:	NoCD


INTRODUCTION:

This is a simple (i.e. fairly quick and dirty) port of 3Dgpl Version 2 to the NG Amiga platform (using Amiga SDK ver 1.0).

I have included the original source code (and book documentation), as requested below, and have added binaries and makefiles
for the Amiga.
The only 2 source code files that were modified were hardware.c and hardware.h (actually, they were totally re-written...)

INSTALLATION:

To install the 3dgpl2 package, simply uncompress the archive into the /demo directorty inside your AMI file structure.
(The included pre-compiled VP binaries will only run from this location).

USAGE:
3 binaries are included:-
 - group
 - surface
 - tracer

They are located in the (/demo/)3dgpl2/code/app directory, and must be run from the shell from this directory 
 (using "./<progamname")


RECOMPILATION:

cd to the 3dgpl2/code/app, and type:
	source ami-make-tracer.scr
	source ami-make-surface.scr
	source ami-make-group.scr
to compile each of the applications.


HISTORY:

v1.0 - 2000/09/19
Intial public release.

This archive can be found at ftp.amiga.com and http://www.silvan.demon.co.uk/AMI/
