wing.dll

DESCRIPTION

The Windows Game dll provides a number of functions designed to allow programmers to bypass Gdi and write directly to video memory. The intention was to bolster the use of Windows as a gaming platform and remove the need for Dos based games using 32 bit Dos extenders.

This initial approach could not compete with the performance of Dos games (such as Doom and Warcraft) at the time, and so this dll was eventually superseded by DirectX. It should not be used by new applications, and is provided only for compatibility with older Windows programs.
