Well - if you reverese engineer the workspace area and the otag list -
then you can insert your own 2d primitives into the ordering table.
Then you could write your own 3d - 2d transformation stuff using some
of the few gte functions we were given.

Im not sure there is that much point in trying to write your own 3d to
2d routines though. unless you wanted to create custom file formats to
include 3d lines and sprites and stuff and various other reasons. Oh
ok, it may be worth it :)
