In fact, you might be able to get a software library of drawing routines from S3. I know us card vendors could and did and if memory serves, a subset of what we had access to was available to retail customers, though with no support and no source code rights. S3 should have an 800 number. It's new building (in Santa Clara CA.) is only a mile or so from my job but I do not have S3's 800 number any more... Sincerely, MarcW.
