Hi All,

Best reply came from Pat Lampert at Compaq who suggested I load the base
kit as described below to add the necessary libraries into the system.

Thanks also to Dr Tom Blinn, Roberto Mackun and Iwao Makino for their
input.

Loading the kit has fixed the problems with OpenGL though one application
still refuses to behave. I'll keep digging.

-----Original Message-----

Can anyone tell me the status of support for the OpenGL libraries on V5
please? I've got a couple of systems with V5 installed which are having
trouble displaying applications from 4.0F systems requiring the OpenGL
extensions. I know Open3D has been retired/subsumed into the operating
system so how do the GL extensions get handled now?

TIA
