OpenGL for OS/2 for Intel-based PC's
              ------------------------------------

This directory contains exectuable binaries and other materials needed
to run OpenGL(*) on OS/2 Warp(*) on Intel x86-based PC's.

OpenGL is a popular 3D graphics programming interface.  It consists of
a collection of "C" language subroutines for drawing points, lines and
triangles, applying textures, removing hidden surfaces, creating
transparent surfaces, and a wealth of other functions.  OpenGL is 
available on most Unix workstations as well as OS/2.  To create new
OpenGL programs, you must know how to program and you must have a
compiler.  For more information about OpenGL, see 
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/software/OpenGL/

The zip file(s) in this directory contains all of the libraries
and header files needed to develop and run OpenGL programs on OS/2.
This zip file(s) also contains documentation, a number of demos, and
the aux and tk windowing toolkit libraries.

Please be sure to read the license agreement in the file LICENSE.
By obtaining one of the zip files from this server, you will be 
agreeing to abide by the terms set forth in the LICENSE.



Hardware and Software Requirements
----------------------------------

  o OpenGL will occupy 6-8 MB on your disk when installed; this
    includes the OpenGL DLLs, documentation, and example and demo source
    code.

  o The zip files do not include man pages. These are available from 
    Addison-Wesley -- "The OpenGL Reference Manual", 
    ISBN 0-201-63276-4.  Most technical bookstores stock/should 
    be able to find this book.

  o OpenGL requires the following hardware and software:

     >  16 MB RAM 

     >  OS/2 Warp with Multimedia support installed

     >  Strongly recommended: an OS/2 Warp video driver for whatever
        video card you have.  If you can run MMPM, you're probably set.
        Most of the ftp servers out there for OS/2 have Warp drivers
        for S3s, Tsengs, ATIs, Diamond Vipers and more.
        Warp drivers installed with OS/2 usually do OK.

     >  A video card that supports at least an 8-bit (256 color) screen.
