[ODE] Presentation and question

[Shaul Kedem]

DjArcas, Ricard,
 If it is possible - send drawstuff based code.
 I got plenty of help sending example code to the
list.

 (the D3D remark looks interesting - don't you think?
I suggest removing all D3D / graphics code and using
printf- see if you can recreate the behavior).
