Since a few (well 2 at least) people seem to be interested in looking at the 
directx2 software development kit and have asked me where to get it...
Either by www at www.microsoft.com (And follow the links (dont recall 
which ones) or by ftp
at ftp.microsoft.com    dir = /msdownload/directx2

This also has the install of directx2 so you can run applications written 
for it in Win95.

The distribution has 3 methods of download
1. A single 33 Meg file
2. Three files all approx 12 Megs each
3. 10 files each just over 3 Meg each (If anyone knows why they are 3 Meg
and not single floppy size .... Please tell me!)

And a .bat file if you get the split version to automatically glue it 
back together (to end up with the file distribution no 1!)

WARNING
You need at least 133 Megs free (probably more) as this is a self 
extracting archive....
And run it with the -d option in a directory you have created (or you end 
up with a mess like I did)

could you mail me (or the newsgroup)
