To the best of my knowledge, you need VC++ 6 or 7 to compile for Windows. Personally, I'm not inclined to run out and purchase VC++ just to compile a Java API. Fortunately, the good folks at OpenMind have made Win32 binaries available for download for JOGL and related APIs. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=72173 Take care, Paul _|_ =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
