Subject: Mac Mesa 2.4 - Free 3D graphics library, with OpenGL API.


Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that
of OpenGL*, with full source code. It allows people without OpenGL to
write and use OpenGL-style applications. It is binary compatible with
Conix's OpenGL for MacOS. A GLUT implementation is also included.

What is OpenGL?
The premiere software interface that allows graphics programmers to
produce high-quality color images of 3D objects. The functions in the
OpenGL library enable programmers to build geometric models, view models
interactively in 3D space, control color and lighting, manipulate pixels,
and perform such tasks as alpha blending, anti-aliasing, depth cueing, and
texture mapping. OpenGL is available on all major computer platforms.This
makes OpenGL code portable to more computer platforms than any other
graphics library.

Mesa was written by Brian Paul, and many contributors, distributed under
the terms of the GNU library copyright.

System requirement:
* Any CFM aware C compiler. Projects for only CW Pro1 is included.
* System 7.0 or older.
* Power Macintosh at least 16 MB of RAM.
* 20 MB of hard drive space.
* CFM68K Macintosh is so-so supported.
