I just discovered that there is a whole bunch of new routines in the GL library (-lgl) with awful, short names like "v3f". I seem to recall SGI *promising* that now that FLEXNAMES were the default, all *new* routines for the GL library would have a distinctive prefix on their names. For example, "v3f" should have been "gl_v3f" and then the "C" extern namespace would not be all cluttered up. This is a giant pain, with SGI library symbols clashing with perfectly valid extern variables in my programs. PLEASE STOP IT! -Mike
