Please advise! I am a hardware guy, but I have a dream - to write a "Hello world!" program in Watcom 10.5a/10.6 for DOS, which would be displayed on the screen by the Voodoo1 (or Voodoo2) accelerator. Probably, some 3dfx libraries will be needed for this. But I don't know which ones.

Example here, including building the glide libraries from source on dos using djgpp;

Bound to be an Open Watcom guide somewhere.
