FT>Is there an OpenGL library for OS/2 ?

Further to some other notes here.  OpenGL 1.0 is faster than 1.1, so use
it if you don't need the extra features in 1.1.  If you have a Pentium
Pro or above CPU, there is a device driver that will improve OpenGL
performance.  Make sure you use the 1.1 libraries and headers to build
your programs, since if you use the 1.0 libraries on a system with 1.1,
they will fail but if you use the 1.1 libraries on a system with 1.0, it
will work alright.  There is an excellent series of articles on
www.edm2.org (might be .com) on OpenGL, just look in the back issues.

There are also Glide libraries (a subset of OpenGL) that are hardware
accelerated on the Voodoo I and II if you are interested in that sort of
thing.

I wrote an article on OpenGL in OS/2 on the OS/2 eZine, however their
back issues are currently offline.

Rob.
