Point Sprites

Does DX7 have a way to draw point sprites? (I guess that's what they're called anyhow. They're the pretty little glowing pixels in games, usually used for magic effects). If not, what'd be a fairly good way to draw them?

I haven't had the ambition to study up on DX8 yet, but I do have the type library so example code from either version would work.

I have found no particular method for creating point sprites in DX7. Since point sprites are just billboarded sprites, you shouldn't have a problem writing your own engine to emulate this functionality. I would suggest the upgrade to DX8.1 however. The point sprite engine it contains is very powerful and fast.
