John,

You are absolutely right!!! :-)
I just installed DiectX SDK on my NT and now glide-0-0-0.dll (the glide
driver
in GGI) opens without problems.  Although I still cannot do display
on my screen.  This display problem is a bug in XGGI code which
Marcus has to fix.  It tries to do display in Marcus invented mansync
routines and Windows NT knows nothing about mansync, it returns a Dr. Watson
error.

Here is out put from command line (debug mode).  It supposed to call the
mansync.dll from ggi after last line but I get a dr.watson error and
everything hanged.
We are getting there slowly.
