The source for that book is fairly compiler-specific (Borland C++ and
Watcom).  All I ended up using was his .plg stuff, and I had to do some
lengthy clean-up work to get it to work.  You'll also have to rewrite it
to use a different graphics library (I use Shawn Hargeaves' Allegro) for
video access.  I found that easier, and it allowed me to spend more time
working on my 3d code rather than a protected-mode putpixel routine.
