nviz and linux

[Michael Schulz]

Hello Michel !

Some time ago we tried to port the OGL-version of SG3d (ogl3d) to Linux
using Mesa and lesstif. Without reasonable results, though i think it
should be possible, but i am not really experienced. Markus N. tried it, i
think he also gave up (am i wrong, Markus ?).

But he found a company that sold a Motif/Linux-Version of OGL3D at
www.databridge.com. This site still exists, but is under construction
since one year. I think you could try to mail them.

I have not tried to port the new nviz stuff. If you want to try it, that
would be great.

Cheers, Michael
