hiho
on the end of this mail is a patch, that removes an assert(0) from the surface code in ddraw. but removing it let Ankh[1][2] start (it started before, but there where no loading screen visible). yet there are other problems with this game - but it now actually works better than before.
so let the ddraw developers decide what to do there - this mail is just a reminder, that there is a poor little homeless assert, that needs your attention ;)
