What mip-to-bmp conversion tools are available if running Win98?  Or, does
"statement" that WinMip 1.2 and GPLBatch doesn't work in Win98...maybe not
true?

Also, I need David Noonan, Alison Hine and Klaus Horbrand email address.  I
had a full system crash last weekend....totally unexpected and lost tons of
email addresses.

For those of you looking for new sound file updates for N3, NL and new stuff
for GPL.........system crash "hosed" all my sound files...and back up zip
disk.....failed to reload.  They are gone!  Good news is I can build new
ones...but it will take some time.

By the way, Win98, V3 and DX 7......wow, really bad!  Nothing wants to work
with out going into "tweak-city".....Viper won't calibrate, N3 frame rates
are terrible (on or off-line)....haven't even tried loading GPL
again....after posts here.  I guess I better go move the SB Live soundcard
out of the PCI slot one.....maybe that will help?  Thinking of throwing my
computer in the trash and go racing for real again!  I ran one of the WC cup
pace cars at Sears Point all day yesterday........hmmmm?  My neck is
sore.....but I didn't have to worry about frame rates, dropped packets and
bad connections!  Parker Johnstone was there....he reminded me he'd never
driven a perfect lap at Sears...in all the years he was instructing
there......man that track is hard to go really fast!

PS:  I could use the URL for the viper patch that allows 3dfx res of
1024......lost my FAVORITES folder too...now I can't fine the Viper Website
where I got it.

mip-to-bmp conversion and reverse work flawlessly with WinMip 1.2 and
GPLBatch under Win98 for me.

I don't have their email adresses, but I think you'll find'em on their
sites.

Don't know about Viper and N3, but the only problem I had with DX7 (Win98,
V33000, SBLiveValue) was, that GPL didn't find my LWFF anymore. But deleting
and reinstalling the LWFF driver cures this for me.
I also had the SBLive in PCI slot one initially thus sharing IRQ with the
V3. I changed this, but I can't notice any difference in GPL. Could be that
it helps your N3 fps,  maybe.

...only about crashing an expensive car and hurting yourself... <g>
No, the real thing can only be better!
