Isn't Rasterman making/was making a complete desktop environment using this super-fast low-level graphics library of his which could piggyback on top of hardware OpenGL to do those transparencies and stuff in hardware? nonetheless I still think the MacOS Quartz graphics engine is the way to go. :) Nothing major/original there -- Sun OpenWindows has had Display PostScript (vs PDF for Quartz) for nearly 20 years. But it's a new way of doing graphics on UNIX and Apple has done a good job of pushing it to the masses. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
