Dear fellow Crystalspacers,

I emerge from my long lurking to put a rather unusual request.

I, being 1) a historian of technology & computers and 2) having a very 
old machine (a PIII clocked @ 800 Mhz and 192 MB of ram, with graphics 
powered with an relatively more recent ATI Radeon 9250) I'm interested 
in early releases of CS, but around the 'Net i can find only versions 
from 0.15 and up (on Sourceforge site), and I don't find the earlier 
versions. An intensive goggle & wayback machine search find nothing; BTW 
I think also I have in my extensive collection of CD-ROM an pre-0.15 
version, IIRC around 0.03-0.07 but I can't find it again and browsing 
hundreds of CD-ROMs isn't feasible for a single individual. I remember 
that this version compiles successfully on a 486-66 machine with 8 Mb of 
RAM but the walktest demo run at a painstakingly 5-8 fps.

My objective is of creating an lighweight, old skool type of game, 
similiar to the 16-bit era 3d games (that is, no textures, shading, 
light effects etc). and capable of running in a ~150-200 Mhz machine 
without much GPU 3D ecceleration, prior to shifting to more extensive 
project (that is, learning from the very basics the art of 3D 
programming), in parallel to the acquisition of a more decent and 
capable machine (by the way, I use Linux, and this since 1995)

Hope that no one laugh at this post, and gives some useful response, 
even in the negative.

Happy programming,
Dott. Piergiorgio d' Errico.
