jim adam's programming rpg with directx 2nd ed book

i was surprise that some of the code really doesnt work... well based on some of review i read about this book (i thought it's just a programmer's issue or something). code is a bit obsolete coz he's using the dec2004 sdk in this book esp. the loading skinned xfile. this thing gets me frustrated this whole night just to make this code work specifically on april2005 sdk.

anyway now it's working *finally*, can load skinned mesh perfectly! and it's 3:00am in the morning and i have only 5 hours left before goin back to work. Zzz...
