[comp.graphics] RS6000 GL ports

mac00493@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (08/17/90)

It has fallen to me to port several applications over to our new toy, an
IBM RS6000 with the GL options.  Some of them require only minor tweaking.
Others still aren't running after 3 days of trying.

I know I can't be the only person whose done this.  Does anyone have any tips,
suggestions, cautions, etc?

email please, I'll post a summary if there's interest.

I assume you are porting from an SGI??  I will be doing the same and
am interested in what ports nicely and what causes problems.
