.. I gather from what you say there that the DirectX stuff is a lot harder
to get into than the Yaroze stuff.

... I beleive reverse engineered stuff is usually OK... but I agree it is a
grey area.  If you have to make it significantly different you can always
write a source code processor that will make the changes automatically...I'm
quite good at source code processors so if you need such a thing writing I
may be able to do it for you... as for other help, I probably haven't got
the time, and I don't know any DirectX.

I'm sorry that I can't say for certain whether I'd use your library or
not... it just depends on how quickly I manage to finish my project (it
looks like taking as long as a peice of string).
