Is there a 3rd party archive of SDKs or samples? post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48651 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 15:30:35 -0800 b1tr0t directx pick sample 3d direct3d http://ask.metafilter.com/48651/Old-DirectX-SDKs#740187 I'm not familiar with any, and I would be extremely surprised if the license agreement even allowed anyone but Microsoft to distribute SDKs. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48651-740187 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 17:37:10 -0800 Rhomboid http://ask.metafilter.com/48651/Old-DirectX-SDKs#740419 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. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48651-740419 Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:37:15 -0800 chrismear
