I've read somewhere that "Gold" designates IBM wide beta versions. The final 
release of version 1.1 never happened due to rapid collapse of IBM Austin PSP 
department soon afterwards (in November, 1997).

By the way, if it was the release, they will most likely have it included in 
Warp 4.5 convenience package(s) but there aren't any plans for OpenGL 
enhancements in CP#1, as far as I know. Moreover, the Aurora distribution 
contains the same old rusty OpenGL v 1.0.

                                        Sincerely yours - Andrew
