>I'd like to request that the GLUT library be installed
>on the Athena SGI's. GLUT is a library which simplifies
>writing applications using OpenGL. In fact, all
>of the source code currently in /usr/share/src/OpenGL/
>on the SGI O2's requires the GLUT library. At this point,
>GLUT is a standard component in the OpenGL set of libaries.
>GLUT is also great because it allows one to write cross-platform
>OpenGL applications very easily. Almost everyone who currently
>programs scientific visualization tools using OpenGL, uses GLUT.

>You can find out more about GLUT from:
> http://www.sgi.com/Technology/OpenGL/glut3.html#1
>
>And you can download it (for free, without a license) from:
> http://www.sgi.com/Technology/OpenGL/glut3.html
>
>It is quite small (only a few megabytes) and it installs
>extremely simply. If GLUT cannot be installed on all SGI's,
>could you make it available in a mountable locker? Any
>solution would greatly help.
