XGGI status/problems???

[Robert Collins]

I don't believe symlining will work for .dll's at the moment unless you use a *nt* symlink.
A file copy is probably safest until you have it working - then fiddle with symlinks...

Speaking of DirectX...

Have you looked at Harold's DirectX server doco & pre-pre-release?
