Ok now on with the show :)
I won't waste your time by going through setting up Microsoft Visual C 5 and other compilers. What I'm going to do is give you some example source and explain the parts I think you need to know. I'm going to use MS Visual C 5 throughout the tutorials but other languages should also work with the same code.

Code Skeleton.
--------------
This is the piece of code that every glide program will need in order to work correctly. Remember C is case sensitive!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CUT HERE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

#include [windows.h]
#include [stdio.h]
#include [conio.h]
#include [glide.h]

int n;

void main()
{
	GrContext_t context;
	grGlideInit();
	if (! grGet(GR_NUM_BOARDS, sizeof(n), &n))
		printf("ERROR: no 3Dfx Interactive Graphics Accelerator!\n");
	grSstSelect(0);
	context = grSstWinOpen( 0, GR_RESOLUTION_640x480, GR_REFRESH_60Hz,
				GR_COLORFORMAT_RGBA, GR_ORIGIN_LOWER_LEFT, 2, 0);
	//Program starts here






	//Program ends here
	//Wait for keyboard hit to end
	while ( !kbhit() );

	grSstWinClose(context);
	grGlideShutdown();
}

This program should Initialise your Glide card and then wait for you to press a key before quiting. The 3DFX logo should be displayed etc..

In the tut 2 I will start with real stuff like drawing polys :)
