soon i''ll post a demo about the glhorizon flight simulation i''m programming, but since win98/me don''t have a opengl32.dll nor glut32.dll and similar stuff, may i include those libraries in the zip file for download or am i violating any copyright/license ? i''ve been looking and searching at www.opengl.org, but i can''t fully understand the license statement (sorry my english is not that good). glHorizon_Project

I think all versions of windows after Win95 OSR2 have opengl32.dll and glu32.dll.

No Windows installation has GLUT though, as it''s not part of the core OpenGL.

DONT distribute opengl32.dll
each video card has its own version and you may fuxor things. its best to point them to the right place for downloads.
There is an opengl setup program that comes with a lot of software that uses OGL that I believe you can use or at least point people to on the net that will attempt to find a suitable OGL installation for peoples computer.
I''m not sure where to get it but I know it''s out there.

http://www.glsetup.com I think
and what about glut32.ddl ? anyone knows if can be freely included in downloads or not ?
