Old DirectX SDKs?

October 15, 2006 3:30 PM

Where can I find old DirectX SDKs, or archives of the included samples?

I want to take a look at the code for the DirectX 8.1 Pick sample, but Microsoft does not seem to offer the 8.1 SDK for download anymore and the sample is not included in the 9.x SDKs. Is there a 3rd party archive of SDKs or samples?

I'm not familiar with any, and I would be extremely surprised if the license agreement even allowed anyone but Microsoft to distribute SDKs.

I've dug out a copy of the 8.1 SDK from a CD in an old game programming book. Drop me an email and I'll hook you up with the download.
