I did miss this one. What’s changed regarding Win32 OpenGL speed?

It’s faster. :slight_smile:

The window is created with a NOCLIP style, which allows the GL driver to
optimize the drawing by not having to worry about occluding windows.

See ya!

Unfortunaltly, the file sdl_env.c seems to be missing from the
CodeWarrior project files. I had to add it to them in order to not
get link errors :wink:

Ahh well, SDL 1.2 has a re-implementation of getenv() and putenv(),
and the CodeWarrior projects will be updated before release. They
weren’t for the 1.1.8 release because Darrell wrote them and I’m
uncomfortable messing with them, and he’s been offline for a while.

See ya,
