Well done, squire. Visual Sciences is a good company. Presumably this
means I'll see you on scee.dev.programming.psyq_compiler :)

Effectively it is. If you can write a good 3D game on the Yaroze, you
can make it faster on the pro kit with the low-level graphics engine.
(And pay for your efforts in the heartache of GTE programming.) The
rest of the programming is the same - subject to the constraints
imposed by the weaker Yaroze devkit and the daft uncontrollable
library linking.
