The DirectDraw HEL has been enhanced to support the creation of texture, mipmap, and z-buffer surfaces. Furthermore, due to the tight integration of DirectDraw and Direct3D, a DirectDraw-enabled system will always provide Direct3D support (in software emulation, at least). Hence, the DirectDraw HEL exports the DDSCAPS_3DDEVICE flag to indicate that a surface can be used for 3D rendering. A DirectDraw driver for a hardware-accelerated 3D display card should export this capability to indicate the presence of hardware-accelerated 3D.
