Hi all!

I've recently bought myself a 3dfx-based 3d accelerator and, being the
hacker that I am, two hours later downloaded the sdk from 3dfx.com.  I
noticed that the docs only mention MSVC and Watcom as supported
compilers, but the include files are littered with "#ifdef __DJGPP__" so
I figured, what the heck...

Anyway, after a couple of hours of stuffing around ("hey, cool! lookat
THAT!") I discovered that quite a few rather necessary functions only
seem to exist in a supplied .ovl file (I forget the exact name, I'm
writing this from varsity).  What I'd like to know is, is there source
code for the "missing" functions?  if it's proprietary stuff, is there
a tool somewhere that will convert the watcom .ovl file into .o files
that I can combine into a .a library?

TIA
Fabian
