Well, one man's useless is another's useful... I learned something
about this sort of rendering from looking at his code, even without
the lib's source.
But thanks to a response in this thread I was able to find a DJGPP
port of this exact engine. It uses Jonathan Griffiths' excellent Jlib
library, and Jonathan does provide source for his lib.
If you are interested, go to:
ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming/djgpp2/
File is called hgtf_1-0.zip, and Jonathan's lib is there too.
