Re: [Update REQ 5799]: OpenGL port of Geomview

[martz at shaft.fc.hp.com]

Yes I'm still interested in doing this. Here at HP we are implementing
all kinds of OpenGL libraries, and an OpenGL port of Geomview would
make a great piece of test software and/or SIGGRAPH demo. It is low on
my list of priorities, but I will work on it as time allows.

I can't seem to ftp to geom.umn.edu. Do you have an IP address for
this machine? Or is it available elsewhere? If you do not intend for
me to use ftp, please let me know which transfer mechanism is
recommended.

Thanks very much for your help. Is this the email address I should use
to keep you posted on my progress?
