Only a couple of hours worked today – someone decided that today would be a good day to discuss server security, and I had a nice lunch consulting (kibitzing?) with Greg, an old buddy of mine about his new company/product.

• Work on Audio3d class
• It appears that you *have* to include <xact3.h> before <xact3d3.h>. It seems to be tied up with <x3daudio.h>, which is declared before <xact3.h> in <xact3d3.h>. If I reverse the order of those calls, no error messages. otherwise I get the following (included for the next poor soul who pastes this error in Google):
