Realitive newbee with questions.....

["Josiah Avery" <josiahavery@Hotmail.com>]

    Hello all,

    I am new to this group ( obviously ), and it seems like a cool group. I 
am realitively new to the world of graphics/demo coding. I have a few 
questions that perhaps you guys could be so kind as to entertain:

1. How futile is it to use DOS as a means of , "getting ones feet wet" in 
graphics/game dev? I realize that command line driven OS are as archaic as 
they are confusing (to many @ least.. not I). Now-a-days it is all centered 
around WIN32 ( as well it should be I suppose... ), but it is more intuitive 
to learn from the ground up in my opinion...

2. I have a large portion of my 2d graphics lib completed. What would you 
suggest as the best file format for imagery?; be it pcx, bmp, tga etc...

3. Also I wish to ask you guys to evaluate my demostrated skill level to 
date. I have posted some demos using my lib @

Thank you for your time. And I look forward to learning from the wealth of 
knowledge that many of you convey.
