On Mon, 17 Jun 96 14:14:21 MDT, my original question was:

The answer is that dgl cannot be installed on anything but SGIs. OpenGL
can be installed on Alphas, and it's in the layered products. The kit
that contains it is Open3D. However this will only run those things that
SGI chooses to do under OpenGL. DGL things won't work.
