Thanks in Advance qayx (quick to type eh ? )

Hi..I dealt with the problems with the examples shown in the redbook. It took a while to find out what the problem was.

This is a link where you can find the most updated dll of glut and some stuff. ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/opengl/

About opengl.dll, well I''m using opengl32.dll, but that it''s installed by windows.

Back in the mid-90''s SGI and MS had an ''argument'' concerning the quality of MS'' (software) implementation of OpenGL. They ended up releasing their own implementation (Cosmo OpenGL). That''s what opengl.dll is. opengl32.dll is MS'' implementation, which they haven''t touched (or so I hear) since that time.

GLUT was implemented by Nate Robins when he worked at SGI. I am not sure that the version available on ftp at SGI is the very latest. However, Robins maintains a page with his latest work on GLUT there.
