Each chapter includes sample C code illustrating important concepts discussed in the chapter. The Multimedia Development Kit also includes, on disc, complete program examples that illustrate the use of the Multimedia extensions. The Setup program (described in Getting Started) installs these sample programs on your system. Compile and run these examples to see how the functions work in actual programs, or use the examples as the basis for writing your own multimedia applications.
The following table lists the sample applications provided with the MDK. Each program is installed in a subdirectory of the \MWINDEV\MMSAMPLE directory (note that the subdirectory names match the program names).
