freeglut NEWS:
===============
  
 o /usr/share/doc/freeglut-2.4.0/ChangeLog

 
DESCRIPTION:
============
freeglut is a completely OpenSourced alternative to the
OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written
by Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in the second edition
OpenGL 'RedBook'. Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety
of practical applications because it is simple, widely available and
highly portable.

GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and manage windows
containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read
the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions.


UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'freeglut' from
the 'Libs' category (it should already be selected).

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't

the appropriate place.
