Ummm, sorry, have you used OpenGL??? It has so much stuff that Allegro
doesn't that it borders on scary. And OpenGL 1.1 just added a heap of new
stuff.

I suggest going to www.sgi.com and having a look around. Also, have a look
at the man pages on OpenGL and see how much work needs to be done... :)

Oh, and a last note, I don't use Allegro. If I am going to code for OpenGL,
I would prefer a seperate module completely...  :)

Leathal.
