GLIDE is the proprietary hardware acceleration driver used by 3dfx
Voodoo Graphics accelerators.  It is the most popular 3D driver in the
gaming industry at present, particularly considering the recent release
of the second-generation Voodoo 2 boards.

At present, no hardware-accelerated graphics are directly supported by
DJGPP.  However, if you would like to write a GLIDE interface for DJGPP,
a whole lot of people would be made very very happy.

P.S.:  magitekchocobo??  I sense a fellow Final Fantasy fan.  :-)
