We didn't have much to talk about.

	* A user requested a GL library called GLUT.  We will probably
	  install it in a locker.  It sounds like alexp has
	  volunteered to take care of that.

	* OpenGL continues not to work, although it may work on the
	  Ultra 5 with some newer patches.  Greg still has to do one
	  more test to verify that it doesn't work on the Elite3D
	  Ultra 10s with newer patches.

	* Bob has been working with IRIX 6.5.  The default cc output
	  is n32 format, which is at least consistent with gcc.  emacs
	  is presenting some problems because it specifies cc -32
	  explicitly.  We'll see what newer versions of emacs do.
	  IRIX 6.5 also provides large /usr/gnu and /usr/freeware
	  trees, which is sort of interesting.
