and a readme which says:

    The projects have been tested with visual C++ 6.0, but masm is also
required
    to build the assembly language files.  It is possible to change a
#define and
    build with only C code, but the software rendering versions lose almost
half
    its speed.  The OpenGL versions will not be effected very much.

(note the last sentence).
