Erm, I think you've got things the wrong way round. OpenGL has been our
since day 1 for Voodoo and Voodoo2 and ROCKS - directX sucks big time ( What
version we at now 6.1 ??? ) Whats happening is there's openGL drivers to
support directX for those who don't have a Voodoo card - I wouldn't bother -
a voodoo 1 costs ~�40 - I'm gonna updrage to Voodoo2 for Quake 3,
