   DX8SDK and i need some else??
  1)I need to download the dx8 runtime?2)DX8SDK 137.75megs is complete?, or the m$-cd is more complete?.3)"This is the full DirectX 8.0 SDK Download. It contains everything you would find on the DirectX 8.0 SDK CD with the exceptions of the "Extras" found in the DirectX 8.0 Partial SDK Downloads"-What meaning of "extras"... X tools?, diags tools?, or some samples?-And where download this partial sdk.I think it night going to play with dx-sdk ;-)    -eng3d.softhome.net-  
  I was wondering about those "Extras" as well.I think they are simply smaller examples for some of the demos (i.e. SpaceDonuts3D) that take up a bit of space. This would allow for them to still have the features demonstrated, and yet not have such a large download.But I already have seen the 3 demos I wanted -- Picking, Volumetric textures, and the Skinning Demo WHOOHOO!  ;  This may sound childish, but ...I want the furry rabbit Maybe they''ll make the other demos available as downloads soon. I don''t _care_ if I have to download 650 MB.BTW, the ''Extras'' are:"Extras Symbols - This download contains all of the symbol files for the DirectX 8.0 release.
