This allows OpenGL stuff to run rather well. They state that they need a working threads implementation, and from some hints, I gather that user space threads aren't enough. They've released them for SCO Unixware & Linux. FreeBSD is prominent by its absence. Stephen PS - I intend having the /dev/3dfx driver mostly finished this weekend. I've had to cope with my source drive dying, and a number of emergencies at work. -- The views expressed above are not those of PGS Tensor.
