   DirectX Version
  HiI am wondering ... where I cand find Directx 6 SDK or Directx 6.1 SDK to download.Another thing. with directx 9 sdk do I can access to Direct Draw ?Thanxs ! 
  What do you need DirectX SDK 6 for? Everything in there is also in the later SDKs.Yes, with DX9 SDK you can access DirectDraw. ;  The beauty of directx is that it is backwards compatible, if you find the documentation you don''t need the SDK.  All the features that are in DirectX6 are still in DirectX9. ;  Ok thanks for your help !!!! ;  << I am wondering ... where I can find Directx 6 SDK or Directx 6.1 SDK to download. >>Ah ha, you taking my advice? I use the DX 6.1 SDK since it came with LaMothe''s 1999 version of his Tricks book. To use the latest SDK I would have to uninstall that one (which I don''t want to do yet). But as the others have said, I believe you can use DirectDraw 7 (the final DirectDraw) with the current DX 9 SDK, since they are all "backwards compatible."I''m using DirectDraw 1.0 interface, for simple 2D games this should be fine. Plus I''m using straight C function calls (nothing object oriented).This GameDev DirectDraw article   uses DirectDraw 1.0 which is what I''m attempting to use. You don''t always have to use the latest stuff but it helps to keep up with the technology. I was out of the loop for most of the 1990s, so its all new to me. Don''t want to overwhelm myself.Most of the DirectX 6.1 SDK docs I made available as one PDF  Phil P
