Recently, there appeared in c.b.i.p two programs to operate on ".GL" files. Unfortunately, there was no clue as to what these files are, what programs produce/consume them, or where one might find them. They were: v11i075: gl_om, GL create/extract (part 01/01) v11i076: glcomp, GL file utility (part 01/01) Since I work for a company that is known for its "GL" (Graphics Library) I thought it a good idea to ask about these .GL files. If you know what these files are, please post an explanation to this newsgroup. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nelson Bolyard nelson@sgi.COM {decwrl,sun}!sgi!whizzer!nelson Disclaimer: Views expressed herein do not represent the views of my employer. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A .GL file contains both images and animation commands. The popular program GRASPRT can display these files. +==========================================================================+ | Noam Mendelson ..!agate!ucbvax!web!c60b-1eq | "I haven't lost my mind, | | c60b-1eq@web.Berkeley.EDU | it's backed up on tape | | University of California at Berkeley | somewhere." |
